Feminism 6 Publications in Random Order

Mirar a la cartografía desde las disidencias sexuales posibilita un proceso de resignificación que habla en otros términos, trata otros territorios y rompe con los ideales hegemónicos de lo cartográfico. Este eje atraviesa el trabajo de lxs tres autorxs participantes, para encontrar un potencial que permita cuestionar, remover e imaginar otras vivencias posibles. Esto significa dar cuenta de lo subjetivo y activar herramientas que denotan una voluntad política. Y es que tratar otro tipo de experiencias que se alejan de la norma requiere otras formas de hacer que posibilitan nuevos imaginarios pero no olvidan las relaciones de poder y las desigualdades que los inscriben. En definitiva, demuestran que podemos hacer cartografías en nuestros propios términos. Los trabajos de Kyle Lasky (Lesbian Bedrooms II), nucbeade (Lesboanimitas) y Lucas Larochelle (qt.bot) están construidos con argamasa de memoria colectiva, experiencias personales, deseos entrelazados y relatos ficcionados. Hacen referencia a las diferentes formas de vivir y habitar el espacio a través de testimonios, fotografías u otros registros que cuentan historias; historias que hablan desde la memoria, la intimidad y la ficción, desde lugares de resistencia y de vulnerabilidad.

Looking at cartographies through sexual dissidence facilitates a process of resignification that speaks in other terms, deals with other territories and breaks away from the hegemonic ideals of cartography. These are maps that do not intend to be utilitarian objects, but rather an exchange of perspectives and experiences around other ways of thinking of and occupying space. Being critical of hegemonic cartography entails questioning the forms of representation that are characterised by fixed categories of analysis. A non-representational cartography is interested in that which is not palpable; the invisible, the affectionate, the performative, the virtual and the fictional. These cartographies are born out of a curiosity to generate other spaces and other norms while creating and looking for other codes and other ways of narrating. The cartographies by Kyle Lasky, Lucas LaRochelle and nucbeade included here are cemented with collective memory, personal experiences, intertwined desires, and fictionalised accounts. They refer to the different ways of living and inhabiting space through testimonies, photographs or other records that tell stories; stories that speak from memory, intimacy, fiction, places of resistance and vulnerability.

‘Feminisms’ (as a plural) is widely used today to draw attention to inequalities and to critique the status quo in limiting women’s roles/ positions/ lives/ potential. Art can offer a vision of future worlds, manifesting a desire for projecting change, playing with existing realities and conventions. Feminist Art Artivism and Activism, two sides of the same coin, arise where art approaches, develops or transforms into activism and vice versa, where activisms become artivisms. In both, art emerges in differing forms of political intervention, at both an individual, shared or collective level, apparent in actions, events, identifications and practices.

This volume wants to reveal the diversity of these practices and realities. Representing a range of critical insights, perspectives and practices from artists, activists, curators, academics and writers, it explores and reflects on the enormous variety of feminist interventions in the field of contemporary art, social processes, the public sphere and politics. In doing so, Feminist Art Activisms and Artivisms touches upon broader questions of cultural difference, history, class, economic position, ecology, politics, sexual orientation, and the ways in which these intersect.

Richly illustrated with c. 300 black and white illustrations and photos.

This is the first volume in the new PLURAL series. The series focuses on how the intersections between identity, power, representation and emancipation, play out in the arts and in cultural practices. The volumes in this series aim to do justice to the plurality of voices, experiences and perspectives in society and in the arts and to address the history and present and future meaning of these positions and their interrelations. PLURAL brings together new and critical insights from artists, arts professionals, activists, cultural and social researchers, journalists and theorists.

SABAT is a three-issue magazine (The Maiden Issue, The Mother Issue & The Crone Issue), fusing witchcraft and feminism, ancient archetypes and instant art to paint a portrait of and offer insight into what the occult means today.

“Satanic feminism, esoteric influences on high fashion and celebrating the darker side of being a woman: just a few things to be spellbound by in biannual magazine Sabat.” – VICE

“Sabat is a wizard of a magazine and it’s such an unexpectedly fantastic concoction. It brings together two interests of mine that I never thought would or could combine; witchy themes found in 90s TV shows like ‘Buffy’ and ‘Charmed’ on the one hand, and crisp design and typography on the other. You wouldn’t expect this combination to work, but it does.” – MAGCULTURE
