Exhibition Feminist Findings / Liberation in Print
Feminist Findings brings together the collective research of twenty-six womxn and non-binary people on the history of feminist publishing. The L.i.P. Collective—short for “Liberation in Print”—formed during the recent lock-down period. Spread over four continents and many time zones, its participants came together over the beams of their computer screens to dig through digital archives, searching for the missing histories of feminist journals, magazines, zines, newspapers, and newsletters. Feminist Findings presents the L.i.P. Collective’s research for the first time, taking the form of an exhibition and accompanying zine. It was led by Nina Paim and Corin Gisel of common-interest along with design journalist Madeleine Morley.
The L.i.P Collective is Zenobia Ahmed, Yanchi Huang, Sophia Yuet See, Silva Baum, Phoebe Eustance, Pauline Piguet, Noemi Parisi, Nina Paim, Naïma Ben Ayed, Mujgan Abdulzade, Mio Kojima, Maya Ober, Mariachiara De Leo, Madeleine Morley, Loraine Furter, Klaudia Mazur, Floriane Misslin, Fanny Maurel, Eugénie Zuccarelli, Elham Namvar, Delphine Bedel, Corin Gisel, Clara Amante, Carolyn Kerchof, Barbora Demovičová, and Amy Gowen.

Masterclass ’Concepts en édition féministe’
Longtemps réservés exclusivement aux hommes, les métiers de l’édition, de l’impression et de la typographie furent interdits aux femmes, hormis quelques exceptions, jusqu’en 1881 en France, invisibilisant de facto leurs voix et leurs expériences. A travers ses recherches, Delphine Bedel a analysé en détails l’origine du terme féminisme dans l’édition, la construction de la différence des genres au 19ème siècle et surtout le rôle fondamental de l’édition dans l’émancipation des femmes,des cultures subalternes ou celles défiant le régime de la société hétéro-patriarchale et coloniale. Bedel a développé un atelier qui s’articulera en deux temps et introduira les participant.e.s à ces faits historiques ainsi qu’à une série d’outils, de réfléxions et de démarches de travail pratiques dans la construction de projets éditoriaux.

Course SPECULATING THE FUTURE
Speculative thinking about the future of humans and non-humans establishes a common ground between the art disciplines, the technological innovation sector, policy making and critical humanities. Specifically in the creative sector, speculative design is an outgrowth of radical and conceptual design that reflects critically upon the here and now, looking further into the future.
