We are very happy to announce that we host a workshop and laboratory on Feminist Aesthetics with the amazing theater facilitator Mariana Villani in Vienna for free donation! Due to limited workshop places please register as soon as possible - you find the registration link in our bio!
Mariana Villani is an Argentinian theater practitioner and founding member of the International Ma(g)dalena Network and the Latin American Network of Theatre of the Oppressed. The workshop “Feminist Aesthetics for Political Poetics” delves into the challenges and discoveries made during practical work with theater groups, artists and activists from Latin America, Europe and Africa. It is based on a repertoire of original exercises, games, and techniques, using feminist aesthetics from an anti-racist, decolonial, and community perspective. We employ material such as drawings, poetry, media/newspapers, sound and instruments. The workshop includes methods of the Magdalena Laboratory, exploring taboos and highly sensitive social topics, using art to visualise concrete pathways to fight injustice and to transform reality.
It is open to all TINFA* (trans, inter, non-binary, female, agender) people interested in aesthetic tools. We especially invite TINFA* people from marginalized groups (q***r, migrant, BIPoC, persons with disabilities, people with children and other care responsibilities, economic difficult situations, etc.) to join the workshop! Childcare will be provided during workshop days.
