Queens' Ways III
Eight projects
from arts and sciences
January
to April 2007 maecenia is delighted to announce
the third series of the Queens' Ways.
The
careers of most female artists and scientists differ from those of
their male counterparts, who are taking the
proverbial German "Kings'
Way," in that they are rarely as straight or direct. Therefore,
we have called this series of events "Queens' Ways."
maecenia aims at promoting the work of
women artists and scientists and supporting their projects and ideas
in a sustained manner.
Most of the events present a mix of talks, lectures, readings,
exhibitions and performances, in the course of which the authors
will introduce
their specific scientific and/or artistic projects in Frankfurt. At Frankfurter Kunstverein, we will over three consecutive days
be showing video work and discussing the relationship of women
artists,
new media
and the art market. At Goethe-Institut, a photographer will talk
about the changes in Bosnia. She will be showing her photo portraits
of 20
women, who have taken their lives in their own hands after the
war, redefining themselves and their country. A talk at Goethe
Museum
is dedicated to
early networks among women authors in the 19th century and will
shed light on a previously unknown chapter of literary history.
A politically
highly charged documentary made by two filmmakers from Berlin will
premiere at Frankfurt's Naxoshalle. It tells the story of five
Turkish women who
chose to no longer remain silent about torture suffered at the
hands of Turkish police, making it a public issue. Finally,
a musicologist
of Frankfurt's University of Music and Performing Arts will bring
to life the musical culture of women in the early modern period.
