The Future of Feminist Performance presents and re-contextualizes the artistic and activist legacy of internationally renowned poet, performer, and sound artist Katalin Ladik (Hungary).
Her experimental voice poetry, body art, and feminist interventions have left a profound mark on avant-garde culture in Central and South-Eastern Europe, while her artistic legacy continues to inspire new research and interpretations across different cultural contexts.
Through her multimedia practice, Ladik challenges the existing social symbolic order. She explores female experience, body, routines, and sexuality, questioning the position of women artists within a predominantly male art world.
Engaging in dialogue with her legacy are contemporary artists including Bojana (S) Knežević, Kinga Tóth, Irena Tomažin, Nina Dragičević, among others, expanding the field of feminist performance today.
Bringing together artists from Austria, Italy, Croatia, Serbia, and Slovenia, the project fosters intercultural dialogue, empowers a new generation and highlights the ongoing relevance of feminist artistic practices in addressing contemporary social challenges.
