À dire d'elles (Blog)

Location

France

Info:
blog by French journalist Sandrine Goldschmidt; emphasis on feminist news, culture, films, feminist movement/activism, equality etc.

Statement:
Pourquoi ce blog ?
Il existe tant de talents occultés, tant d’invisibles, tant de perspectives nouvelles à découvrir… et partout, on lit les mêmes infos, on entend les mêmes artistes, on parle des mêmes films. Ici, je veux élargir le spectre du visible, parler de celles qui contribuent à la diversité du monde, et nourrir la réflexion sur notre monde en y ajoutant un regard de genre.

creating a nexus between activism and the arts. Melanie Manos in Conversation with Deb King.

Topic:

Teaser Image: 

We http://www.vbkoe.org have recently engaged with the defining, positioning and constructing levels of the notion of a "women's movement." We problematized the non-naming of the first, feminist artist women's movements within history-writing.

In "Movement Politics. The Revolution Is Longer Than We Think," we further expand these analyses within an art historical, collective and activist context. We decipher their new potentials for feminist forms of action. We will carry that out through critical interview material and virtual conversations with the following participants:
