Thinking loudly about gender, queer and (post)feminism Moderated by Marina Gržinić (Slovenia) Guest of honour and keynote speaker: Tanja Karpela, Minister of Culture, Finlad
Artists, critics, curators, writers, filmmakers - the festival participants - will discuss the conditions surrounding the (im)possibility to work, as well as reflect upon and deal with questions of (trans)gender, working conditions, politics and the perspective of different communities and institutions engaged in the field of contemporary art. It is not a question if gender matters (it does!), but rather what contribution it can make to changing neo-conservative and neo-liberal approaches to life, community and work, that currently reign over the world. The question is what other spaces, bodies and policies can be engendered in order to bring about true change, and not the mere simple improvement of the situation as regards difference, solidarity and equality.
