A physical Matria edition

Edition pilot 01

A collectible reading object that moves across women’s writing, art, science, technology, education, economics, environment and public life.

These are design concepts. Final format, materials, reproduced art and contents will follow rights, production and demand testing.

The Matria Annual Edition

A printed Matria annual with archive artwork, sourced reading trails and connections across literature, art, science, technology, education, economics, environment and public life.

The proposed annual brings together Kartini, Toni Morrison, Faith Ringgold, Wangari Maathai, Rosalind Franklin, Joy Buolamwini, Maria Montessori, Elinor Ostrom. Each section begins with what she did, develops the documented impact in readable prose, includes selected work and source context, and points back to the living archive.

Women and technology remains one possible thematic folio. It is one thread in Matria, not the definition of the archive.

Optional digital companion

The book remains complete without a phone

A printed code can open the exact living record, its sources and later corrections. A future audio edition can add founder or contributor narration after the recording is produced and reviewed.

• Read the current sourced record.
• Inspect sources and corrections.
• Listen when an approved narration exists.
