With Margo Okazawa-Rey, Bafta Sarbo, Elif Sarican
Moderation: Margarita Tsomou
Margo Okazawa-Rey, the co-founder of the historic Combahee River Collective, which published the key text on issues of intersectionality in 1977, will be speaking at HAU1 with Kurdish-British author Elif Sarican and author Bafta Sarbo (Initiative Schwarze Menschen in Deutschland) about the history of feminists as pioneers and initiators of progressive movements and global transformation processes. The discussion will kick off with the new publication “She Who Struggles: Revolutionary Women Who Shaped the World”. The stories of leaders, pioneers, guerrillas, and writers who have shaped past movements around the world will be connected to the present.
HAU Hebbel am Ufer has long had a focus on feminist leadership in progressive struggles and global processes of transformation. Building on our festival “¡Protagonistas!” and its gathering “Beyond Equality: Feminisms Reclaiming Life” in June 2023, we are continuing this exploration of international feminisms. In our discourse series of the same name, theorists and cultural practitioners will address the history and future of feminist movements dedicated to the struggles against capitalist appropriation, authoritarian regimes, and (neo)colonialism.
Supported within the framework of the Alliance of International Production Houses by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.
