Why are these manifestos in this Lesson?
In this lesson, 5 manifestos are considered.
Each proposes a different concept of how to consider women’s bodies politically and as corporeal entities with subjectivity and agency.
The first 3 – by Orlan, Stephens and Sprinkle, and VNS Matrix, are directly connected to their art practices.
While there is a relationship between the artworks of Pirici and her manifesto, the broader politics of considering the end of women’s body as a battlefield, and questioning gendered conceptions of politics underpins Pirici and Voinea’s concept of the Gynecene.
The final part of the lesson looks at Xenofeminism as an alternative conception of how feminism imagines bodies in the future, embracing and reconceiving human/non-human, nature/culture, natural phenomenon and man-made technologies.
