re.act.feminism #2 - a performing archive was a continually expanding, temporary and living performance archive travelling through six European countries from 2011 to 2013.
The core of the project was a mobile archive and workstation with a growing collection of videos, photographs and other documents of feminist, gendercritical and queer performance art. This transnational and crossgenerational project featured works by over 180 artists and artist collectives from the 1960s to the beginning of the 1980s, as well as contemporary positions. The research focus was on Eastern and Western Europe, the Mediterranean and Middle East, the US and in Latin America. On its journey through Europe –starting in Spain and continuing through Poland, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia and ending in Germany- this temporary archive continued to expand through local research and cooperation with art institutions, academies and universities. It was also ‘activated’ through exhibitions, screenings, performances and discussions along the way.
With the publication of the
re.act.feminism book the project drew to a close in 2014. On this site you can find information about the range of public activities that took place as part of the project. The
archive section is designed as a continuous research tool providing information about all participating artists.
