Abstract
Using the works in Acts of Resistance: Feminisms, Photography and the Art of Protest exhibition as a prompt, this event explores the question; What is a feminist act of resistance?
How are feminist acts produced? What do they respond to? What is their role in transforming the world around us?
The public programme for Acts of Resistance is curated by Lola Olufemi. Ru Kaur will explore these questions in a 30 minute lecture/performance followed by a panel discussion with artists Sofia Karim, Sheida Soleimani and Rafeef Ziadah, chaired by Lola Olufemi.
Maqam books, a locally owned and independent youth led radical bookshop will be selling feminist titles at this event.
