SUN 28.10.07
11.30am - 6pm SYMPOSIUM
Location: de Balie [Kleine Gartmanplantsoen 10 Amsterdam, NL]

In the symposium we want to join with a
series of thinkers and cultural
practitioners in exploring the current
political potential of feminism in the
age of globalization.

Can its methods
of enquiry, critique, and activism aid
in thinking about contemporary
identity? We are interested in thinking
about what would the issues be for a
global feminism today.

In the morning
the keynote speaker Rosi Braidotti
will outline the intellectual terrain
from her perspective.

In the afternoon
we open out the debate in relation to
the practice of artists such as Hito
Steyerl. Ruth Noack, who developed an
interesting feminist narrative in
Documenta 12, has been invited to speak
from a curatorial perspective.
