About the Event: Restrooms are spaces where the most intimate actions take place–regular bodily functions, private conversations, emotional breakdowns, lonely lunches and in classic times, the cheeky smoke. Yet their designs are built to evade just that; they intend to make what’s private, public.  

Project Humanities recently hosted an interactive workshop on bathroom inclusivity and challenged attendees to consider how they themselves are made uncomfortable or left without essential accommodations. Bathrooms can be an uncomfortable topic for some people to talk about, whether from anxiety, embarrassment, past trauma from having a bad encounter, or having to use a space that was not designed for your body.
