New systems: queer and feminist curatorial practice
Roundtable
Saturday 3 March 2018 3 - 4.30pm
The General Assembly Room, Burlington House, Royal Academy of Arts, Piccadilly
£8, £5 concessions.
Join CUNTemporary co-founders, Giulia Casalini and Diana Georgiou, for a roundtable exploring queer and feminist curatorial strategies.
With the recent popularity of exhibitions and public spaces dealing with the subjects of feminist and queer politics, how can mainstream discourse be expanded to include radical and less visible perspectives? Entirely self-funded, CUNTemporary is a non-profit organisation that has been working to expand and strengthen the mainstream conversation by centring queer-feminist artists for over five years.
This roundtable will explore and question the ways queer and feminist thought has gained visibility in mainstream institutions. Can equality and visibility in the arts for LGBTQ individuals and women construct a democratic, non-elitist, horizontal, artist-centred art world?
This event invites audiences to participate in a roundtable discussion in the General Assembly Room. We encourage ticket holders to bring thoughts and perspectives to share with others and generate an informed debate with invited speakers.
International Women's Day 2018 events
To mark International Women’s Day 2018, we're presenting a week-long series of events that explore ideas of feminist futures through art and architecture. Join us as we investigate the power of art practice as a catalyst for social change. Focusing on women artists engaged in a variety of media, we'll dissect ideas of automation in architecture, moving image as language, archiving and alternative artistic platforms. Celebrate the RA’s 250th anniversary with us and see what we can draw from the past as a way into the future. Enjoy panels, lectures and roundtables as our speakers contemplate multiple feminist possibilities.
