A symposium on the direction of feminist cultural production
November 05, 2010 to November 06, 2010
Performing Feminist Culture is a symposium organized by WIAprojects on the topic of feminist cultural production Feminist cultural practice in the 21st century has been splintered into a myriad of practices, concerns and communities. Such a shift has created more inclusive feminisms in which intersecting oppressions, privileges and needs speak across communities of difference. "Feminist artist" has been replaced by "cultural practitioner", who in dialogue with curators, historians, critics, theorists, viewers, educators, galleries help create a space in which artifact becomes a site that acquires multiple meanings. But, what are those meanings? Is feminist production still alive and well? Is feminist cultural production passé, racist, classist, liberal, (fill in the blank)? What does a feminist cultural producer or curator look like anyway? How do these developing configurations perform (or resist or re-perform)?
The intention of the symposium is to engage the cultural community in working through some central concerns around feminist cultural production and its role as a creative and activist strategy for both the production of culture and its presentation and dissemination. Performing Feminist Culture wishes to engage other cultural practitioners in a practice of thinking, making, presenting and theorizing about what feminist cultural workers do. With this in mind, WIAprojects has invited a wide range of discussants and participants, some who do not necessarily identify
