The Museum of Utensils
Please tell us about your submission (maximum 600 words)
The project is the redesign of an existing utensil museum in Ahmedabad through a feminist lens with an objective to spark dialogue and instigate social reform on the concept of gendered labour.
What is something you learned about patriarchy and what is something you would like to change about what you learned?
I realised how I too, despite being a woman, am guilty of participating in and benefitting from the gendering and domestication of women. I feel the need to educate people about the unpaid labour done by women the world over and how it's not okay to take it for granted.
