This series of talks and film screenings deals with questions of gender and identity from a feminist perspective. The series’ introduction forms a film program.

Is there a way to avoid the category “gender” and prevalent gender relations within society? What are the subversive strategies and resistive practices that are being used and where do we find them? Which spaces of society are taken over by women, which spaces are created and which dissident positions are represented?
