Introduction

Cartophilia critiques the exclusion of femininity and non-heteronormative identities from public spaces by juxtaposing tourist imagery with lesbian couples and feminist archives.

Result

Forty-eight postcards combined iconic Athenian landscapes with altered visuals of lesbian couples, accompanied by feminist and lesbian archival material. This project critiques the dominance of masculinity in public spheres and aims to amplify marginalized voices.

Postcards, chosen as everyday objects, served as subtle yet powerful tools for disseminating feminist narratives. Visitors became part of this process, spreading these messages beyond the installation, challenging traditional narratives of public and private spaces.
