About
Reading Group 2: Queer Activism with Caitlin Fleming and archival materials from Feminist Library.
Reading Monica Sjöö 2 will explore archival materials from the Feminist Library to help unpick Sjöö’s involvement with Queer Activism. Led by Caitlin Fleming.
The Monica Sjöö Reading Group Series is programmed by emergent curator and researcher Fran Painter-Fleming who has been invited to bring the perspectives of a younger generation into juxtaposition with the issue-based work of Monica Sjöö and its interpretation by an older generation of ‘Third Wave’ feminists. Sjöö’s imagery represents both the civil rights achievements of ‘Second Wave’ feminism and a vision for alternative futures. Painter-Fleming was struck by the urgency of Sjöö’s work in the context of current debates surrounding the climate crisis, queer rights and contemporary feminisms.
