Entralacs and Feminist Festival

LiveInYourHead

April 2019

Entralacs is a two week festival/exhibition realized by thirteen students of TRANS - a master’s program at Live In Your Head, the curatorial institute of HEAD - Geneva. The exhibition explored multiple forms that socially engaged artistic practices may take. During the first weekend KimyiBo and Elvira, with artists Magali Raspail and Giulia Ferrati, organized Feminist Festival with the aim to create a feminist space that allow for encounters and discussions around questions related to gender, specifically on the concept of self-care and the idea of creating “safe-spaces.” We collaborated with artists, activists, and public speakers to create public events for two days: among others, Acapello - a collective of musicians studying at Haute école de musique de Genève-Institute Jacque Dalcroze; Crépidules - a Geneva based podcast; Angela Marzullo - artist; and Collective Genève pour grève féministe 14.6.2019. The first day of the weekend was designated specifically for women, who were invited to reflect collectively on the relationship between the intimate and the political.
