Dubravka Sekulić
In the lecture Dubravka Sekulić focuses not only on what and why needs to change in architectural education in an effort to make a discipline more equitable, but also on how this change can happen.
‘Next Time, Baby I’ll be #Bulletproof’ is a collision of the live body and its technological mediations by Web 2.0 artist Jennifer Chan, accompanied by ‘Gyre’, a commissioned essay by London based art historian Cadence Kinsey.
Jeanie Crystal, Emily Pope, Zein Majali
Through the moving images of artists Jeanie Crystal, Zein Majali, and Emily Pope, the exhibition explores the theme of diaries and personal narratives. You Make Me Feel is a dose of feelings, a jumble of reactions, and a message to one's future self.
Why did Jarmila B. disappear? And why should we be interested in it? Jarmila B. was a ceramist, who did not leave any interesting art work behind, only many rather messed up projects and involuntary, unexceptional compromises. What really matters is what she did not create – her radical visions, which are captured in her diaries (and which bear a striking resemblance to projects of some radical conceptual artists and performances of contemporary artists). In a way she was ahead of her time.
Jenna Bliss
A series of five videos about closeness and distance, it addresses the contradictions of the people who influence us most: our fathers believing they resolved the Mystery of Women, grandmothers who embody woman’s physical decline and the women, like Weil, who we admire but who, unlike the men, weren’t just allowed to be.

It's obvious that the issue of the environment and ecology in art is increasingly becoming a consciously political decision that affects what art we create, how we teach it, how we talk about it, or how we present it. Artwork is intertwined with cultural activity, which is linked to activism and vice versa. The context, material used and financial resources are increasingly accentuated.
Sráč Sam
"Slibuji" is an art project conceived by Sráč Sam. The exhibition is organized by the tranzit.cz initiative in collaboration with the SVĚTOVA 1 gallery. The installation of pillows, concrete blocks, and plates with texts presents art as a story that focuses on ordinary things and everyday relationships.
A more-than-oceanic perspective is a speculation on perception, emotion, intelligence, and agency. It brings with it a tidal wave of decolonial thought, posthumanism and material feminisms, queer ecologies, media theory, and spirituality, refracting it through interdisciplinary aesthetics and environmental justice.
Rehana Zaman
Considering the changing nature of work under global capitalism and the role of female labour, the film ‘Some Women, Other Women and all the Bittermen’ (2014, dir. Rehana Zaman) is a contentious and highly engaging adoption of the conventions of British soap opera place alongside footage documenting meetings of migrant women in the UK at the self-led organisation Justice for Domestic Workers in Leeds.
The second part in ‘New Feminism’ programme brings together moving image works by London based artist Chooc Ly Tan and an essay by the curator, artist and researcher Julia Tcharfas. It links mythical stories about gender of celestial beings to invention of new words and language through the text of science fiction writer Ursula K. Le Guin, video collage and astrophysics.

The video of Milena's song works within the theoretical background of contemporary feminist thinking, namely with the legacy of cyberfeminism, which was formulated in the early 1990s by British feminist and cyberculture theorist Sadie Plant. Cyberfeminism grants emancipatory power to modern technology, but only as long as all people can access it, regardless of their class status, religious beliefs, cultural identifications, sexual orientation and/or gender.
Bojana Kunst
In the lecture, I would like to address the issue of the labour of the artist from the perspective of the feminist artistic work and discuss, how already from the end of the 1970s feminists artists engaged with the issues of the flexible and precarious work, the issues that are also so pertinent in the labour of the artist today. From the perspective of those artists, the exploration of labour opened new dimension how to understand and reflect upon labour of female artist and her emancipated life.
Vanalyne Green
Sex, Sickness and Videotape’ is a tribute to video as a medium which empowered women to make and break the rules of self-image, instead of reproducing the images that had been handed to them. Similar to Vanalyne Green’s engagement with video, the artists and writers who contributed to this project deconstruct and rebuild their practice in the response to challenges and possibilities of the current technologically mediated society.
