ON LOVE | queerograd 017
What does Feminism stand for today?02. – 04.11.2017, Lagergasse 98 A, 8020 Graz
In the course of hundred years from great October revolution initiated
by female textile workers it is appropriate to ask our self: “Can we do
it one more time?” or are we lost in the jaws of postmodern relativity
and variety.
This year issue of queerograd seeks to collaboratively explore contemporary positions of feminism. In contrast to the corporate or lean-in feminism – embodied in Hillary Clinton’s campaign for president or in the new established W20, a so-called G20 dialogue process – we want to sustain our attachment to Left analysis, but to throw off the melancholic and conservative habits of the Left. In opposition to a legalistic, technocratic approach to women’s rights we want to use the feelings and sentiments — including those of sorrow, rage, and anxiety about broken promises and lost compasses – to wake the critical and visionary feminist spirit again and through various artistic, theoretical and activist practices express our objects of love - In what we do believe and what we do stand for!
