Performanceabend Sorority: „femtrails X KRNOE“

About

In their performance Rosa und Louise – ein feministisches Manifest in dialogischer Form Ariane Koch and Sarina Scheidegger explore the networked world of feminist discourse. Since 2014 a continuously modified text, which was adapted to each specific exhibition situation in Switzerland, Germany, and Austria, has been enacted by two performers and presented as a poster series in public space.

Ariane Koch and Sarina Scheidegger develop the dialogical manifesto collectively or on their own, non-linear and associatively; with the manifesto format they demand public attention without falling into the trap of the authoritarian, declamatory gesture of this text form. Rosa and Louise – be it as Rosa Parks and Louise Bourgeois or Rosa Anywoman and Louise Average Consumer – represent the polyphony of feminist practice.

The event is a collaboration between the Kunstraum Niederoesterreich and Sorority – Verein zur branchenübergreifenden Vernetzung und Karriereförderung von Frauen and is a part of the femtrails art and culture series. After the performance we invite you to feminist magic potions.
