If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution is pleased to announce the publication of an artist book by Alex Martinis Roe, to accompany her commissioned project To Become Two.

The book, To Become Two: Propositions for Feminist Collective Practice, offers a narrative of artist Alex Martinis Roe’s research into a genealogy of feminist political practices in Europe and Australia from the 1970s until today. These practices include those of the Milan Women’s Bookstore co-operative; Psychanalyse et Politique, Paris; Gender Studies (formerly Women’s Studies) at Utrecht University; a network in Sydney including people involved in the Sydney Filmmakers Co-operative, Feminist Film Workers, Working Papers Collective, and the Department of General Philosophy at Sydney University; and Duoda – Women’s Research Centre and Ca la Dona, a women’s documentation centre and encounter space in Barcelona. Drawing from their practices and experiences, Martinis Roe’s research forms a proposal for a transgenerational approach to feminist politics. This is further developed as a handbook of twenty new propositions for feminist collective practice, which were formed in collaboration with a network of contributors through experiments with these historical practices.

The book is €18,– and is available for pre-order from If I Can’t Dance here, or from any of the fellow publishing partners, Archive Books, Berlin; ar/ge kunst, Bolzano; Casco – Office for Art, Design and Theory, Utrecht; and The Showroom, London.
