Women on Aeroplanes: Editorial Meeting
Panel discussion
Women on Aeroplanes is about to touch down in Lahore. During the stopover we’ll have a public editorial meeting to design and imagine the next issue of its Inflight Magazine. Experimenting with format, each edition of this international, multi-part research and exhibition project becomes a light container for research-in-progress; a kind of flying museum built upon each iteration, connecting to the next. The ‘meeting’ will feature a reading of excerpts from previous issues, and a brainstorming of ideas for potential female figures, concepts, images and artistic practices that might figure in a publication that captures the specific context of Lahore and other localities in Pakistan.
