Reading Group
(Intersectional) Feminisms and Intimacy
Connected within that Light: Reading/Theory Group Series with Kathy-Ann Tan
This reading group series is entitled (Intersectional) Feminisms and Intimacy. In this third and final session we will collaboratively read and discuss a selection of essays from an anthology edited by Cherríe Moraga and Gloria Anzaldúa.
Declaring a new politics of “third world feminism” when it was published, the essay collection This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color (1981) has continued to influence the art, writing and activism of many scholars, artists and cultural workers since. We will look at performances by queer BIPoC artists that reference this ground-breaking work, such as Miguel Gutierrez’s This Bridge Called My Ass (2020) and Nicole Suzuki’s IS ID ALL (2019).
Texts
Cherríe Moraga and Gloria Anzaldú (Eds.), This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color, 1981
The sessions will be led in English but discussion in German is welcomed. Texts will be circulated in advance after registration closes.
These three sessions continue the Connected within that Light: Reading/Theory Group Series at the Gropius Bau that loosely accompanies and augments the institution’s exhibition programme in 2020 and 2021. Sessions are facilitated by Berlin-based independent curator, writer and scholar Kathy-Ann Tan.
