Med
Privilege Walk vill vi skapa en plats fr att
frdjupa oss i feministiska och intersektionella aspekter p samtidskonsten,
kvalitetsbegreppet, representation och konstproduktion som en politiserad
situation. Syftet r bland annat att lra oss mer om hur makt bibehlls genom
samverkande maktstrukturer, att underska och utarbeta metoder fr att bryta
ner dessa maktstrukturer.
Vi
har valt titeln Privilege Walk fr att markera att vi vill
problematisera och kritisera vra egna privilegier. Vi vill diskutera och omvrdera
begrepp som systerskap, patriarkat och solidaritet. Vrt ml r att symposiet
ska peka ut en framtida riktning.

Feminist and intersectional aspects on contemporary art
September
6-7 2008, Lilith Performance Studio, Malm, Sweden
With
the symposium Privilege Walk we want to create space for a
deepened discussion about feminist and intersectional aspects on contemporary
art, the notion of quality, representation and art production as a politicized
situation. The purpose of the symposium is to learn how power is maintained
through interacting power structures and examine efficient ways of dismantling
those power structures.
We
have chosen the title Privilege Walk to indicate
that we want to problematize and criticize our own privileges. We wish to
discuss, examine and re-articulate concepts such as sisterhood, patriarchy and
solidarity. Our aim with the symposium is to point out a future direction.
You
can find the complete program further down in this mail.
The
symposium is free of charge. The lectures, performance, film
screening and film program is open to the public, no registration is needed.
The
number of participants in the workshops is limited, therefore we ask you to
register beforehand. Send an email to
info@foreningenja.org with ÒRegistration: workshopÓ as subject. Indicate
first-, second- and third choice and your name and phone number. If you have
registered participation in a workshop and are prevented from coming, please
let us know so somebody else can take your place.

Caf
Banjo will be present and sell lunch, coffee and snacks during the entire
weekend.
The
official language during the symposium will be English, but nobody needs to be
an expert on this language to participate, we will help each other with
translations as we go along.
We
look forward to an interesting weekend with you!

wishes

Privilege
by Yvonne Rainer
Privilege
(1990) begins with a documentary style exploration of the taboo subject of
menopause and goes on to explore the historical medicalisation and
trivialisation of women. The film doesn't take on a pat victim mentality in its
exploration but rather widens its focus to consider the many competing forms of
discrimination that exist in our society.

Performance
Privilege
Walk with Johanna Gustavsson
Privilege
Walk is a pedagogical tool used to understand the intricacies of
privilege e.g. ÒIf you were ever called names because of your race, class,
ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation, take one step back.Ó ÒIf your parents
were professionals: doctors, lawyers, etc. take one step forward.Ó This
collaborative performance aims to mark the privileges of all of us
participating in the symposium.
11.00-12.30
Lecture
Angela
Dimitrakaki
Gender
and Labour in Contemporary Art.
The
lecture will discuss the work of contemporary artists in relation to
globalisation and gender. Specifically, the argument will consider how the
socio-economic processes described as ÔglobalisationÕ have possibly generated a
new interest in labour relations which is evident in art today; transformed
contemporary art practice in ways that bring it closer to hegemonic forms of
labour as defined in political theory; and, finally, that such changes become
greatly visible once attention shifts to the gendered artist, that is –
and this is said with some irony – the Ôwoman artistÕ.
12.30-13.30
Lunch
13.30-15.30
Workshops
Mujeres
Publicas (workshop 4)
The
workshop will focus on political actions from a creative perspective; to work
and act to produce an alternative to traditional ways of understanding
political demonstrations. The objective is to denounce, make visible and to
favour reflections about different forms of oppression against women.
Ellen
Nyman (workshop 5)
ÔThe
best intentionsÕ – A privileged walking tour!
The
theme of the workshop is to deconstruct our own power positions and to define
the contexts we usually do not prioritized and the reason why. To actively
become aware of different ways of acting will be dealt with using our own
experiences and practical visualizations.
Athena
Farrokhzad (workshop 6)
Collective
writing.
What
could a text be if it belonged to everyone and nobody? What are the aesthetics
and politics of collective writing, and what is it good for? What power
relations are there in collaborative textual processes? The workshop introduces
possible theoretical tools for
collective
writing and puts them to practical use collectively.
16.00-17.30
Lecture
Vanja
Hermele
The
Thanks, but no Thanks.
A
short guide through the most common, but not very rational explanations why
equality is out of the question when it comes to Art and Culture.
17.30-19.00
Conclusion,
summary and evaluation
