25/10/07 13.00-17.00 Svarta Havet Lecture Hall
The final presentations will take place in Svarta Havet where each group will present the results of their assignments for half an hour each, giving each group member approx. 5 minutes each to present an aspect of the assignment. We have invited polticians and other guests that are interested in cultural poltics to discuss your political party and its effect on society.
Görel Elk/Feministiskt Initiativ/Feminist intitiative
Work and leisure, home and public life, the various stages in life - all parts of our lives are connected. This is also valid for politics. The dominance of men and the patriarchal power relations will therefore not be broken through one single act. This is why Feminist Initiative analyses all areas of politics from women’s perspective and experience and places our political demands on this ground. We will ensure that feminist policies are taken seriously in the Swedish parliament.In order to equalise unjust salaries, a national work evaluation has to be done. We cannot accept a gap of more than four thousand Swedish kronor, which exist for example between the salary of a nurse and a mechanic. Everybody must have the possibility to have full-time employment. Part-time unemployment among women must be reduced and the workday needs to be shortened.
Karin Johnson, visual artist, Sweden
Flash back? Even though art can work criss-crossing boundaries, or even claiming freedom, art, from my point of view, is framed forever. Want to try shaking it loose? To do what? After ten years of art practice I still try to grasp artistic activity in relation to the surrounding world. Right now I am strongly influenced by the 1920 movie The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari, one of the earliest examples of a motion picture ”frame story”, where the freaky plot is presented as a flashback. Other things interesting in the film, maybe also to this seminar, are the issues of profession, to show, the fugitive, death and resumption.
