The Right to Truth. Conversations on Art and Feminism

presentation + discussion

The publication The Right to Truth. Conversations on Art and Feminism represents the collection of 20 interviews with female artists, curators, activists and thinkers of different generations from 7 countries (Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Czech Republic, France, US). This selection embodies a history of meetings and conversations, which emerged from the search for answers to question about the role of art in the process of the transformation with the aim to achieve emancipation and freedom for all discriminated groups. In this context, art is presented together with activism and the activities of institutions and curators who work in them to recreate the atmosphere of mutual influence that exists in real life. The publication, therefore, presents the first hand knowledge on the current feminist art practices and activism.
