The "Day of Architecture" and the "Women in Architecture" Festival, which was organized throughout Germany for the first time, were celebrated on the last weekend in June. With 265 events, the festival aims to promote the debate on equality and diversity in building culture. Cornelia Faisst, university lecturer at the Liechtenstein School of Architecture, took part in the WIA Festival in Potsdam with the pop-up exhibition “Female African Architects”.

The project by Bauhaus Erde in cooperation with the German Color Center and the University of Liechtenstein presented the architecture of the Maasai women builders from Ololosokwan (Tanzania) and female perspectives on a regenerative, culturally rooted building practice in a pop-up exhibition. The exhibition offered an excerpt from the multi-award-winning exhibition at the Frauenmuseum Hittisau (Vorarlberg), curated by Cornelia Faisst as part of the earth HUB at the University of Liechtenstein. The focus was on the connection between architecture, culture and female creative power.

Against the impressive backdrop of the Serengeti's high plateaus, the exhibition highlighted the central role of Maasai women in building and maintaining their traditional dwellings. The focus was on female master builders from Ololosokwan in Tanzania and the huts (enkaji) they built, which provided rare insights into their craftsmanship and everyday life.

The exhibition saw itself as an architectural cultural approach to a largely unknown architectural tradition supported by women.
