State of the art

High fragmentation of opportunities available to artists and cultural institutions; struggles in the sector to fit into traditional models of production; difficult access to cultural programmes for disadvantaged groups; precarious working conditions for cultural workers: intersectional feminism can provide a clear roadmap to tackle these issues in a concrete and practical way

Description of the project

Intesectional feminism can help in critically observing and re-shaping the way in which one relates to artists and audiences. One of the core goals of the project FEMINIST FUTURES is to promote social and political equality and equity by means of intersectional feminism, thus empowering various disadvantaged social groups with a common agenda and concrete tools. This is to be achieved by supporting a new generation of artists in creating socially relevant projects, by strengthening the exchange between performing arts institutions, by raising awareness of equality issues, and by facilitating access to the arts for disadvantaged and/or discriminated communities. In order to achieve this, the project will produce what it calls Intersectional Feminist Guidelines.

We want to resist the reproduction of working models based on inequality, opaque power relations, exclusion and exploitation by proposing concrete alternatives.

Creative Europe’s support

The diversity of daily realities in a network with partners from 11 European countries creates a highly challenging and inspiring learning environment. Peer exchanges and collaborations between partner institutions, artists, and audiences are made possible within Feminist futures. Without the support of the Creative Europe programme this kind of work at European level wouldn’t be possible.

Beyond Gender

The feminist approach adopted by the project strives for the inclusion and equal treatment of marginalised and discriminated groups. Furthermore, it pays attention to the impact that activities have on the environment.
