Split, 8–10 October 2025

The international conference Gender(ed) Landscapes: Reframing Identity Across Art, Science, and Society took place in Split from 8–10 October 2025, organised by the Arts Academy and the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, in collaboration with the University of Split, the Museum of Fine Arts, and Université Marie et Louis Pasteur (France), as part of the SEA-EU Staff Week Gender and Inclusion program.

My contribution expanded on an artistic research project examining the legacy of architect Vuko Bombardelli, exploring Mediterranean modernist landscapes through ecofeminism, posthumanist ethics, and psychogeography. It proposed reading three of Bombardelli’s photographic albums via their analytical, critical, and communicative abilities, emphasising how these albums embody such perspectives and foster debates on gender, visibility, and urban participation. The presentation examined how artistic practices—particularly photography—can evoke both personal and collective memories while challenging dominant economic and monocultural frameworks. Given the housing crisis and climate change, the research re-evaluates the emancipatory potential of modernist urban ideals and advocates for more inclusive, gender-aware, and ecologically rooted spatial imaginaries.
