During my PhD research, I organised a workshop in Brussels to investigate the relationship between cisgender white women and the urban space. Starting from the participants’ personal urban experiences, we wrote three fictional stories and turned them into three collective, fictional and parodic films that each explore a different urban gender discrimination. In these stories, which I have called ‘urban fables’, reality and imagination intertwine, creating new scenarios, and communicating a political moral about space and its active role in the structural production of discrimination.
