Solidarity-in-Difference: Feminist Collective Practices

In this talk, artist Alex Martinis Roe and curator-activist Helena Reckitt explore feminist collective practices for artistic collaboration. Their discussion is anchored in Martinis Roe’s theory and practice, which challenges the traditional solo artist model through feminist approaches to subjectivity, foregrounding the way relationships constitute selfhood. Martinis Roe envisions the artist as a connector among diverse experiences and communities, creating a social network that promotes dialogue among “influences,” “artists,” and “audiences,” recognizing their participation in the artistic process and the creation of culture.
