The FEMonumental Guide

a DIY-Workshop for artists - materials

This guide is part of the Master Project ‘FEMonumental Transformance in Rural Public Space. A Transmedia Performance Art Method to transform Patriarchal Monuments into Feminist Monumental Practices.’ by Conni Holzer, Master Performing Public Space (FHK Tilburg).

The test for patriarchal structures was inspired by Ursula Seghezzi. I further developed the Test and the approach to FEMonumental practices along feminist theories, through artistic research practice and exchange with peers, friends, workshop participants and the coaches of the PPS Masterprogramme.

Feminist references: Gerda Lerner, bell hooks, Audre Lorde, Donna Haraway, Elizabeth Grosz, Manon Garcia, Judith Butler, Sara Ahmed

References on monumental practices: Mechtild Widrich, Bojana Pejic
