Feminism, Politics, Performance
13 October 2021, 17:00
Speakers: Vlasta Jalušič, Ema Kugler, Metka Mencin - Čeplak and Jasmina Založnik (moderator)
You are kindly invited to attend a panel discussion about political performance through the lens of feminism, moderated by dramaturge, theater researcher and critic, and co-curator of the exhibition Realize! Resist! React! Performance and Politics in the 1990s in the Post-Yugoslav Context Jasmina Založnik.
The realization that all women’s rights, gained anywhere in the world, are exclusively the result of feminist struggle, must be constantly kept alive. Regardless of the system in which they were granted or the time women spent fighting for them, women’s rights and the related discourses must be viewed as never-fully-established or always also at least potentially endangered (which is made evident in the inseparable connection between the capitalist mode of production and gender and class discrimination). The development of the feminist movement and thought is not unilateral or linear, but rather a dispersed, oft-interrupted and changeable exploration of positions exposing the mechanisms of power.
The panel comprising Vlasta Jalušič, Ema Kugler, and Metka Mencin - Čeplak will shed light on the changing social, political (and theoretical) conditions of thinking about feminism and its political implementation in the broader sociopolitical sense, including the sphere of art, where the emphasis will be on performance art.
