„FEMonumental Transformance“, Conni Holzer [Workshop]
This workshop will be held in EN. To participate in this workshop, sign up here.
Monuments are representations of social structures and hierarchies, mostly unnoticed in our everyday activities, but subconsciously influencing our perceptions. In this workshop, we explore a monument in a public space and test it for patriarchal structures. The found patriarchal messages are transformed into FEMonumental (feminist monumental) practices, experimenting with improvised performance, writing and overpainting of photographs. This transition process to unlearn patriarchy is based on the artistic research project “FEMonumental Transformance” by Conni Holzer.
