Workshop: The Fight Against Ecocide and Femicide as part of the Sediments exhibition programme
November 16, 2024 @ 13:30 - 16:00
In this workshop we will focus on the connections between ecocide and femicide and create a demand banner focussing specifically on this issue. I will introduce the Quilt project and then there will be input from some of the artists and (tbc) from the Kurdish feminist community here in Graz. We will then have a group discussion, collectively decided on a demand, then create the banner(s). See workshop section of the website for general info about the Resistance Quilt Project workshops.
About the Sediment exhibition:
The Sediment exhibition reflects on the impact of socio-political, ecological, and economic issues on the environments we inhabit. This exhibition’s starting point is based on comprehensive curatorial research in the archive of Loading, a non-profit art space focused on Diyarbakir and its surrounding areas in southeastern Turkey, which provides a layered perspective on the local art scene along with the socio-political and environmental issues affecting the Kurdish-inhabited regions. The strong positioning of women artists in the archive shaped the project. The exhibition, as one of the outcomes of the research, brings together names from the archive and two artists from Graz and Skopje, by including locations from the Hevsel Gardens in the Tigris river basin to the ancient city of Hasankeyf, as well as the rivers Vardar and Mur
