Inspired by The Missing 32%, a gender equity initiative created by the AIA in 2012, this project explores the missing voices of women in landscape architecture. These voices are not found in statistics or equity campaigns but in the act of giving space to the stories of women who have left or are in the process of leaving the profession. In a patriarchal society, what is deemed “valuable” feeds a cycle of normative conditions but by seeking out the most “useless” stories in the eyes of a wounded system, we disturb and heal an old paradigm of conditional worthiness.
