What’s the Use of Intersectionality? is an outdoor and online exhibition curated by us (Feminist Culture House). Through a number of new commissioned artworks in the windows, courtyard, and flagpoles of Stoa Cultural Centre, us and our collaborators explore different ways to communicate and encounter intersectional feminism (more info + images via links below!)
The flagpoles in Stoa’s courtyard exhibit a rotating group of artworks which represent the artists’ understandings of intersectional feminism. Nearby, a stage backdrop features an artwork by Jade Lönnqvist—an image their younger self would have wished to see in a public place.
The exhibition also expands here on the FCH website, through 5 conversations with local and international curators, researchers and activists. The talks, which will focus on collectivity and intersectional feminism, will be live-streamed from our YouTube channel, and documented by artists in the form of visual notes.
By clicking on the below links, you’ll stay on FCH’s website, and access further information and images about each conversation, collaborator, artist, and art work:
