Melanie Manos' performance work has romped on the tightrope between absurdity and solemnity since the late 1990s, giving a view into the tension between the individual and the exigencies of modern society. Whether through the Beckettian work of unending circularity with MBC partner Sarah Buckius, physically demanding minimalist body sculptures or the recent narrative-based work performed at Marygrove College in Detroit, Manos reminds me that performance is at its core political.

Im Fokus: "Migration & Medien"
www.migrazine.at

Seit einiger Zeit kommt Bewegung in die hiesige Medienlandschaft: Mehrheits-Medien und die Kommunikationswissenschaft entdecken die Migrant_innen neu - als Produzent_innen und Konsument_innen von medialen Inhalten. Zugleich wächst auch das Interesse an Medien von und für Migrant_innen, nicht zuletzt aus ökonomischen Gründen. Ein Themenschwerpunkt über die Möglichkeiten der medialen Selbstrepräsentation für Migrant_innen und die Sackgassen der Diversitätslogik im Medien-Mainstream.

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:

Call for Entries: The Nigah QueerFest'10 in Dehli, India

Now in its fourth year, The Nigah Queer Fest’10 http://www.thequeerfest.com is Dehli‘s annual celebration of queerness. The festival this year brings back the curated film festival and our popular performance component along with a visual arts exhibition, workshops, parties and more.

On July 2nd, 2009, the Delhi High Court ruled that Sec 377 of the Indian Penal Code – an anti-sodomy statute – was unconstitutional and violated the rights and dignity of queer Indians. Since that day, many have said that queer people in India are on their way to becoming “free.”

LGTB Pride Beograd: In what quantity are human rights consumed? A Text by Zoe Gudovic

The PRIDE PARADE took place.
This is roughly the fourth time that there was an attempt to organize it, gather the people, stroll down the streets, so that we can show that lesbians, gays, trans and queer people exist in Serbia. However you classify yourself, whichever group you belong to, you either think you have freedom or you know that you don’t have it.

When I first heard about ! Women Art Revolution – A Secret History, I thought that a film had been made about the Guerrilla Girls and that era and was thrilled as it was a period of history crying out for a documentary. The film starts out quite ambiguously, introducing some of the characters, and then asks women through vox pops to name female artists – and my reaction as a viewer, and someone who went to art school, was of shock that people weren’t listing the likes of Jenny Saville, Sam Taylor-Wood, Gillian Wearing, Julie Doucet or even Tracy Emin straight off the bat.

das mädchenblog ist ein offenes feministisches gemeinschaftsprojekt, in antwort auf das, was „normale“ jugend- oder mädchenzeitschriften immer predigen. hier ist platz, um themen wie körper, beziehungen, sexualität und freundschaft, psychologie, pop- und subkultur, politik, schule und ausbildung zu verhandeln und in ein neues licht zu stellen. außerdem werden hier formen von sexismus sichtbar gemacht, kritisiert und diskutiert, die sich im netz und der offline-welt leider noch allzu oft vorfinden lassen.
