The students of the project-based
seminar “Feminist Narratives and Archives” invite you to an artists' talk followed by a discussion and exchange. With guest
contributions from Ana Mikadze, Anne Glassner, Nina Hoechtl and Julia Wieger.
While the archive
has been discussed in an academic and artistic context for decades, queer-feminist approaches to thinking and rethinking archival
processes are still comparatively new territory. Few archives such as the “VBKÖ”, the “Sammlung Frauennachlässe” or the “Zentrum
für queere Geschichte” in Vienna deal specifically with collecting, processing and the visualization of feminist biographies.
But is it enough to simply expand well-known, sometimes violent structures, or is a new approach to dealing with LGBTQIA+
history and the present needed?
With student impulses and artistic approaches, we want to shed light on existing
gaps and talk about new ways of approaching archives and biographies.
