Workshop and Lecture Performance
with Katharina M. Greeven and Dinah Büchner
•Workshop for women* (German, if required in English)
The witch – Is she just a historical figure or does every woman* possess a potential for witchcraft? The figure of the witch is experiencing a worldwide revival – both as a symbol in feminist movements and as a trope within the arts.
How can we reappropriate and reassign the qualities and attributions that are associated with the witch to empower ourselves today? Should we be afraid of the witch or can she* teach us agency and strategies for resistance?
In the workshop we will reflect personal experience and explore the theoretical and social analyses of feminist scholars such as Silvia Federici. We will experiment with the practices of performance, body work and text production. No background knowledge required.
Time: 14:00 to 17:00
•Lecture Performance (German and English)
In their lecture performance, Katharina and Dinah will show extracts from their artistic research about the history of the witch hunts and the figure of the witch.
Time: 20:00
The * represents gender as a self-determined identity. Everyone who identifies with the term women* is invited.
