www.maailmantango.net/en/nykytaidenayttelyt-2019/ www.videokanava.com "The 2019 theme of the exhibition's is feminism and femininity in concepts, thinking and action. Intersectional feminism does not only cover the gender issue but also a wider movement toward equality which questions all unequalizing hierarchies and classifications by ethnicity, sexuality or age. Thus, the focus is not only on the power relations between men and women but on the power relations overall. It asks whether we can ever achieve equality without first recognizing all unequalizing forms of oppression." |
