Organised by CREAM (the Centre for Research and Education in Arts and Media at the University of Westminster) this two-day conference explores the live and performance-based arts, sound and moving image practices that were an integral part of feminist creative and campaigning activities of the 1970s and 1980s.
Part of the Through a Radical Lens events series accompanying the Women in Revolt! exhibition at Tate Britain, the conference brings together presentations from an international array of researchers and artists in response to an open call, alongside workshops and roundtable discussion.
10.00-11.30 Panel 1: Other ecologies: collective work and the politics of space
The papers in this panel explore radical film histories rooted in direct political actions. Examining the lenses through which these campaigns and histories have been framed, discussions will explore power dynamics, space, place, and collective work, considering the process of re-telling these stories today.
