We are pleased to announce that re.act.feminism has entered its third phase. Following the successful exhibition at Akademie der Künste, Berlin (2008-2009) and the travelling, trans-european video archive (2011-2014), it now focuses on a digital episode.
For
re.act.feminism #3 – polyphonies. interferences. drifts curators Sofia Dati (Brussels), EVBG (Marie Sophie Beckmann & Julie Gaspard) and Suza Husse (Berlin, respectively) invited two artists each to create new performative works for the digital realm, who, in turn, select artists and works from the previous re.act.feminism projects that are meaningful to them.
re.act.feminism #3 consists of three thematic chapters on contemporary feminist performance art and its artistic and political inspirations: Sofia Dati‘s chapter
no/thingness presents the polyphony of performative actions of Ève Gabriel Chabanon (Brussels) and Eden Tinto Collins (Paris) which engage with environmental issues and racist violence. EVBG’s notion of
dis/appearing subjects implies the subversion of gender roles by digital means in the works of Anni Puolakka (Helsinki) and Giulia Essyad (Geneva). For her chapter entitled
revenge ~ avatars and manyness* Suza Husse examines together with artists Oreet Ashery (London) and Verena Melgarejo Weinandt (Vienna/Berlin) anti-colonial, queer and feminist strategies of resistance motivated by collective practices.
The project will be lauched at Manifesta 14 in Pristina, Kosovo, on 22 July 2022. It is funded by a grant from Stiftung Kunstfonds, NEUSTART KULTUR. It will be available online from 22 Juli 2022 onwards here:
