Lecture – “Working Collectively: An Ecofeminist Architectural Adventure” by Herbes Rouges

Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. – Jean Duminy Amphitheater –

Herbes Rouges is a collective of six women and gender-minority individuals. After completing their architecture studies, they came together with the desire to work as a collective and to continue exploring the ideas they had begun to develop regarding the world of construction and ways of inhabiting the land. They conduct investigations into places marked by changes—traces of abusive practices and capitalist legacies—but also by forms of resistance, mutual aid, and collective organization already in motion. Working collectively thus constitutes both the method and the subject of their research, aiming to share stories rooted in communities engaged in struggle. Through the narrative of the construction of Herbes Rouges, this session will explore ways of building society based on cooperation, experimentation, and a diversity of imaginations.

As part of the 2026 European Heritage and Matrimony Days.
