balance ● Workshops, Performances & Panels ●
Creating an antagonism to the popular “Männertag”, we will come together to explore different feminist perspectives on the body - by listening, by feeling, by watching, by moving, by discussing. We combined various forms of knowledge-based and empowering practices to offer you a full day of pleasure, politics and performance.
We invited the multi-talented 🌿 Juliana Huxtable, who will present her work POST, dealing with the intersections of race, gender, technology and identity. 🌿 Chiara Baldini will introduce us to her impressive research on pre-patriarchal Dyonisian practices as inspiration for todays empowerment in gender, ecstasy and the revolution. Desculonización, the performance of 🌿 KEBRA, is aiming to create a performative yet political frame for the resignification of normative slogans such as: woman, territory, spectacle and pornography while questioning the racialization of non-white bodies. 🌿 Lexi Venus will guide our bodies in a sphere of sensoric, passionate empowerment, because Pleasure is Power! The collective 🌿 YOR will support you with healing treatments: listen to yor heart, yor gut, yor body, yor choice. In their new live show sound artist 🌿 rkss' new work is an exploration of their transition and navigating public space and institutions, using text from Octavia E. Butler's Imago, as well as hardstyle screeches and euphoric melodies to express this experience.
We will finish the day by bringing the interdisciplinary perspectives together and raising the question of the empowering potential of the body in our panel: 🌿🌿Marginalized bodies dancing is power: The empowering potential of the body. 🌿🌿
