As part of Meer dan Muze (“More than Muse”), Framer Framed organises a discussion evening on 8 March in cooperation with Atria and Amsterdam Museum. Meer dan Muze is a joint initiative led by Mama Cash, which aims to highlight female makers on International Women’s Day.
Imagining and capturing resistance
A sea of pink pussy hats and protest signs. Worldwide, people protested in reaction to the inauguration of President Donald Trump: the Women’s March.
During this program we will look at the activist as creative maker and address the importance of representation, the capturing and archiving of protest.
We will engage in conversation with a few makers, reflecting on their work and how they relate to the contemporary political climate. How can we organise ourselves in a meaningful, inclusive and effective way to enact resistance?
The program will take place from 20.00-22.00 at Atria. It will be in English.
