Following If I Can’t Dance’s first symposium held in Utrecht in March, De Balie will host the symposium Global Feminisms (organised in collaboration with Huis & Festival a/d Werf). In this symposium the notion of ‘legacies’ will be further articulated and expanded upon. Departing from our general perspective, the growing consciousness of a ‘global feminism’ calls for a necessary nuancing within, and a questioning of, the thinking in terms of generations or ‘waves’ in the European context.

The symposium Global Feminisms includes contributions by keynote speakers Helena Reckitt and Iris van der Tuin; Studies & Stories by Daria Martin and Aneta Szylak; and performances by Karl Holmqvist, and Sue Tompkins.
