Re-Materialising Feminism

The Showroom, London

In partnership with The Showroom and the ICA

Organised by Alice Brooke, Rosza Farkas and Giulia Smith

Part One: The Showroom
6-8 June 2014

Re-Materialising Feminism is a project concerned with curating an intergenerational range of artistic and theoretical feminist practices. The project begins as a conference/series of events, across The Showroom and the ICA. A publication documenting the project will be published by Arcadia Missa publications later in 2014.

The first part of the project, taking place at The Showroom, will feature a display of video works from the Cinenova archive, and emerging feminist artists. This will be accompanied by a conference that brings together a range of key voices, with the aim of linking historical materialist theories and feminist practices, providing a platform for an intergenerational conversation.

Part One at The Showroom is concerned with understanding key conversations within materialist feminist critique, namely the relationship between labour and gender, and the terms ‘reproduction’ and ‘abolition’. These terms will be unpacked and examined alongside notions of radical (female) subjectivities, and queer theory. Where does resistance to reproduction occur, in particular within the formation of affect? Can embodiments of failure and/or self-authoring operate as refusal of the reproductive qualities of patriarchy?

The Showroom
63 Penfold Street London NW8 8PQ
Saturday 7 June & Sunday 8 June, 11.30am-5.30pm


Part Two: ICA Theatre
20-21 June 2014

Re-Materialising Feminism is a collaborative project aimed at interrogating a diverse range of artistic and theoretical feminist practices in contemporary culture. The project begins as a conference and series of events, taking place across The Showroom and the ICA. A publication documenting the project will be published by Arcadia Missa publications later in 2014.

Part II of the project at the ICA comprises of a series of text-based interventions, performances, screenings and onstage conversations that reconsider older feminist strategies of representation in light of a resurgence of interest in feminism in culture and the mass media. The focus is on mapping the complex, and at times ambiguous, demands brought about by a considerable range of artistic and theoretical practices that expose the exploitation of the female subject – and even of feminism itself.

Participants include Penny Goring, Beatrice Loft-Schulz, New Noveta, Hannah Black, Rozsa Farkas, Morag Keil, Larne Abse-Gogarty, Ellen Feiss, CUNTemporary and Jay Bernard.

Organised by Alice Brooke, Rózsa Farkas and Giulia Smith. For information on the events taking place at The Showroom please visit: www.theshowroom.org and www.rematerialisingfeminism.org
