Editie # 2: Feminist Legacies And Potentials In Contemporary Art Practice

The famous quote of the anarchist Emma Goldman - If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution - is the departure point of the travelling visual arts programme that will be presented at De Appel in Amsterdam and is curated by Frederique Bergholtz, Tanja Elstgeest and Annie Fletcher. This years’ programme borrows from the language of dance, music, theatre and archived visual material to create a series of performances which re-think the position and representation of women today. The artists presented, engage with performance and the live moment from an emancipatory perspective. From there the programme examines the legacies and potentials of feminism and the ‘politicalbody’ (whether alone or collective) from a variety of contemporary artistic positions.
