Date: 2024-04-03

Thursday 7th - Friday 8th December 2023

Speakers: Sria Chatterjee; Astrida Neimanis; Lucy Bradnock; Katherine Fein, Of Bodies and Land: Continental Allegories Then and Now

A collaboration with The Barbican, this multi-day symposium uses the themes of RE/SISTERS to explore the bonds between gender and environmental justice.

Bringing together artists, scholars and curators, the symposium will explore how women, gender non-conforming and marginalised communities are often placed at the forefront of advocating and caring for the planet, and more broadly how womanist politics have consistently resisted the mechanical, patriarchal order that is organised around the exploitation of natural resources and the oppression of ‘othered’ bodies.
