Interdisciplinary Lecture series "Riskante Künstler*innen" in Sose 2021

In the summer semester 2021 ZEUGS will host the interdisciplinary lecture series "Riskante Künstler*innen. Potentiale und Gefährdungen in der Kreativwirtschaft" led by Prof. Dr. Gabriele Wilde and Prof. Dr. Annette Zimmer.

The ZEUGS lecture series aims to bring together voices from academia and practice on the specific situation of women* in the creative industries. The aim is to reflect on the social dynamics of gendered precariousness in their historical genesis, theoretical location and social science relevance. To this end, theoretical positions, practice-relevant findings and gender-political dimensions of cultural production and reception will be discussed from an interdisciplinary perspective. The lecture series focusses on the voices of women* in the "creative class" under the impression of covid-19 with the aim of illuminating gender relations as power relations in the creative field. In this respect, the lecture series addresses breaks and opportunities that ware constitutive for the risky existence of artists.

The lecture series starts on 28.04.2021 and takes place online at Zoom. Further information about the lectures and registration modalities can be found in the flyer.
