Our Bodies, Our Struggles
An inventory of feminist gestuality, with Pilar Aymerich
to
Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB) Carrer de Montalegre 5, 08001 Barcelona
In this workshop, photographer Pilar Aymerich invites us to recreate snapshots of feminist movements by standing in front of and behind the camera to reproduce significant gestualities, icons and slogans of women’s struggles, and see their evolution up to the present day.
Pilar Aymerich comprehensively portrayed demonstrations of the 1970s in favor of free abortion and against the penalty for adultery, and workers’ struggles in factories like Motor Ibérica. At the same time, in France, filmmaker Agnès Varda told stories related to the second wave of the feminist movement as well as other social struggles. Women, holding hands, hugging, forming an inverted triangle with their hands, singing or holding their children appear in the photographs of one and the films of the other.
By recreating scenes in the images of the two artists and using symbolic objects, we will take photographs that investigate these gestualities of the past and explore the movements, gestures and physicalities of women and other dissents at demonstrations.
The event will be held in Spanish and Catalan.
