Urban Commons as Citizenship: Participation and Belonging in Bologna
Season 2 Episode:21. September 15, 2026
Models collaborative management of urban commons as pathway to expanded citizenship, demonstrating how co-governance strengthens democratic participation and territorial belonging.
Summary: Bologna’s model shows that commons management allows migrants (excluded from formal citizenship) to practice "urban citizenship."Connection: Treats the park as a commons with management authority given to residents regardless of legal citizenship status, creating pathways to political power.

The Feminine Gaze: Integrating Care into Territorial Design
Season 2 Episode:17. August 18, 2026
Establishes theoretical foundations for gender-sensitive planning that views territory as relational assemblage shaped by diverse embodied experiences.
Summary: Advocates for transforming urban planning by centering the "feminine gaze" and "empathic design" to support caregiving and rest.Connection: Rejects production-centered logic, instead designing for nursing mothers, elder socialization, and the rest needs of domestic workers.

Keywords: Gender, urbanism, territorialism, care, project design.

Berlin CSD Attack🏳️‍🌈: The Psychology of Radicalization, Feminist Geographies, Queer Safety & the Geography of Hate

Season 2 · Episode 14

Tuesday, July 28, 2026 • Duration 42:14

Dedicated to the victims of the July 25, 2026 Pride attack in Berlin's Tiergarten, and to the LGBTQIA+ community grieving alongside us.

Why did a car and machete attack happen in a park, during Pride, in the heart of Berlin? In this episode of The Feminist Park, we break down why the geography of the July 25 Christopher Street Day attack was never incidental, using feminist geography, spatial justice, and radicalization research to explain how public space becomes a target.

We connect this to our core research: parks and public space are never neutral ground. Studies on gendered and queer safety in green space show that visibility itself, the very thing Pride claims for one day a year, is what draws targeting. Reclaiming a central Berlin park for Pride was an act of spatial justice decades in the making. That is exactly what was attacked.

This episode covers: feminist and queer geography, the psychology and "affective scaffolding" of radicalization, why inclusive public space design is a safety issue and not a symbolic one, and what solidarity looks like right now.

Concepts from the :

1. Situated Affectivity (the core theory)

The premise is that emotions aren't just internal, private mental states. They're shaped, sustained, and sometime manufactured by the environment around a person. A few key mechanisms:

Affective scaffolding: External tools or structures that prop up an emotional state, the way a stress ball scaffolds calm, or a ritual scaffolds grief. Extremist groups build scaffolds deliberately: propaganda, music, symbols, group chants.
Mind invasion (affective mind shaping): Environments don't just support emotions you already have, they actively reach in and install new ones, often without the person realizing it's happening.
Affective arrangements: A "constellation" of people, objects, spaces, and language that work together to produce and reinforce a feeling.
: Feedback loops where a person keeps returning to the same resource (a forum, a video series, a ritual).

Bad Bunny and The Feminist Park: Trojan Horse of Resistance?

Season 2 · Episode 13

Monday, July 20, 2026 • Duration 33:44

Bad Bunny and The Feminist Park: Trojan Horse of Resistance?

What does it mean when activism becomes aesthetic, and how do we tell the difference between solidarity and strategy?

In this episode of Un/Seen Spaces: The Feminist Park Podcast - Designing for Liberation, we explore the cultural power and deep contradictions of Bad Bunny, one of the world’s most influential Latin music artists. Drawing on academic research on reggaeton, trap, gender performativity, and social critique, this conversation examines how Bad Bunny’s work can be read through a “double discourse”: on the one hand, he publicly supports feminism and LGBTQ+ rights; on the other, some of his lyrics have been criticized for sexism, misogyny, and the objectification of women.

We also look at how his music videos often carry the strongest social critique, using cinematic references and visual storytelling to challenge double standards that the lyrics alone may not fully confront. At the same time, the episode raises a bigger question about whether visible activism in global pop culture represents genuine transgression or a strategic branding of social justice for commercial gain.

This episode is not just about Bad Bunny. It is about how global music industries shape ideas about gender, power, race, sexuality, and resistance. Through a feminist and intersectional lens, we ask what it means when progressive messaging, anti-patriarchal aesthetics, and market success coexist inside the same cultural product.

For listeners of The Feminist Park Podcast, this conversation connects directly to the project’s mission: to examine how public culture, representation, and power shape the spaces we inhabit, and to ask who gets to define liberation, visibility, and belonging.

The research gives Feminist Park a strong example of how symbolic inclusion can coexist with harmful structures. Bad Bunny’s public support for feminism and LGBTQ+ rights, alongside lyrics criticized for sexism, mirrors a broader feminist urbanism problem: spaces and institutions often claim inclusion while still reproducing hierarchy. Liberation has to be measured by practice, not branding. A park, like a song or music video, can look progressive while still reproducing exclusion if the underlying power dynamics stay intact.

Against Artwashing: Artists in Solidarity with Housing Justice
Season 2 Episode:12. July 14, 2026
Exposes cultural co-optation in gentrification, guiding our commitment to authentic community arts partnerships that resist rather than enable displacement.
Summary: Investigates "artwashing" in Berlin, where developers use art to rebrand neighborhoods while planning the eventual eviction of communities.Connection: Rejects artwashing by paying local artists fairly and using cultural programming to support rather than undermine housing justice and tenant organizing.
Key Takeaways: • Real estate developers weaponize art and culture to facilitate gentrification• Artwashing represents profitable neoliberal urbanism that displaces communities• Artists face pressure to choose between co-optation and solidarity with housing justice• Artist-led resistance movements collaborating with housing activists offer alternatives• Cultural production can serve either capital accumulation or community empowerment
Keywords: Artwashing, Berlin, gentrification, real estate, resistance, urban geography.
