Reclaiming the Narrative

Oct 18, 2024, 6.30 PM @ Festival Center D'24

Event language: English

This talk will investigate how patriarchal historical narratives have marginalized women. Drawing upon Arno Lücker’s book 250 Komponistinnen, we will discuss strategies for rewriting historical narratives to afford due recognition to women’s achievements. The screening of Barbara Visser’s Alreadymade will prompt a critical examination of the authorship of Duchamp’s renowned Fountain.
