BOOK PRESENTATION AND SCREENING

Harta, bookshop-cafe
Skenderani 16A-B str., Volos, Thessaly, Greece

The Centre of New Media and Feminist Public Practices (CNMFPP) of the University of Thessaly and the University of Thessaly Press warmly invite you on Tuesday, May 16, 2023 to the presentation of the recently published anthology Feminist Theories, Aesthetic Practices and Globalised Technologies at the bookshop-cafe Harta, in the center of Volos.

After the first presentation of the book at the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST) in Athens, which was held as a guided tour in selected works from the Museum’s permanent collection, its presentation in Volos is accompanied by the screening of Ursula Biemann's film "Performing the Border" (1999), which is available online, as well as by a discussion with the participation of Elena Tzelepis and Petros Phokaides. Alexandros Mazarakis Ainian and Michalis Zoumboulakis will kindly open the event on behalf of the University of Thessaly Press.

The volume, edited by the research team of the CNMFPP, is a collection of seminal feminist texts that creatively interconnect feminism, technology and art, aiming to open a dynamic interdisciplinary and intersectional dialogue and contribute to the relevant Greek bibliography.

The publication was funded by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (HFRI) and the General Secretariat for Research and Innovation (GSRI) and is available in printed form as well as an open access e-book.

The event is supported by the Gender Equality and Anti-Discrimination Committee of the University of Thessaly.

Screening starts at 19.00 (duration 43 minutes)

Panel discussion starts at 20.00
