A conversation on feminism in form of a public exchange of letters
Co-presented by the Goethe-Institut
Federica Bueti and Alex Martinis Roe are guests of the Goethe-Institut
Berlin-based writer Federica Bueti and artist Alex Martinis Roe will be in conversation to discuss their common interest in feminist practices of sexual difference, in particular the practices of
affidamento ("trust") and resonance, and the place of writing in the (de)construction, or hacking, of the modern Western subject. In the form of a public exchange of letters, they will explore their methods of framing and constructing their authorial voices and how feminist historical practices have influenced their current research and practices.
This event is part of Gallery 44's Field of Vision series, exploring larger conversations surrounding photography and contemporary image culture. The last in their year of programming in partnership with the EMILIA-AMALIA Feminist Working Group, this event marks the culmination of the Gallery's first programming theme,
Feminist Citation, which looks at how knowledge is reproduced and attempts to critically inform narratives that are brought forward.
The conversation on Friday is followed by a workshop on Saturday: Generating Political Alliances
