The Work of Bodies. Feminism, Activism and Knowledges of Transformation is a public event exploring the central role of bodies in feminist thought and practice, at the intersection of labor, politics, and knowledge production.
The discussion brings together leading voices from feminist theory and activism to reflect on how feminist movements have redefined the meaning of work, subjectivity, and social relations through embodied practices and situated knowledges.
By engaging different generations and perspectives, the event creates a space for dialogue on contemporary forms of activism and the transformative potential of feminist epistemologies.
