Queer Grrrl Art Links

What: A zine, an art show based in Bellingham WA at the iGallery/Ground Floor in March 2010, and an ever-expanding directory of queer female artists.

Why: We need mentors! I have been searching the Internet to try to find queer female artists and come up short. We all need mentors and peers to bounce ideas off of and to enforce the notion that we do exist and we can succeed. We deserve representation!

Drawing on the impact of postcolonial feminism and its enactments, this conference will examine how women are affected by political systems in a global climate, how feminism translates and moves across borders, and how feminism can be utilised as a methodology for understanding the transnational context.
Here the transnational is understood to be a complication of notions of the 'elsewhere', highlighting the challenges of fluidity, movement and instability whilst also paying close attention to locatedness. This is a feminism that is engaged with the woman-as-subject without making universalising claims regarding women's experience; it both considers how gender operates and critiques categorisation.

at Ballhaus Naunynstraße, Berlin
August 28th–30th 2009

The conference will develop a queer-theoretical perspective on contemporary art practices. Four art and queer theorists will intensely and publicly work with, on, and about four art works, which will be on display during the conference. A film and performance programme and a workshop will bring in further perspectives, artistic material and visual/linguistic practices.
