FHS cordially invites you to a public event Mary Maggic: Artist Talk. Alien Knowledging, in the FHS UK Jan Sokol Auditorium on 23 May 2024 at 6:00 pm. This talk will provide a glimpse into the artistic practice of one of the key contemporary posthumanist feminist manifestos, Xenofeminism, which advocates the exploration of the potential of technology to achieve gender liberation. Exploring the alienation found in our bodies, environments, and molecules, the event will delve into artistic practice of Mary Maggic, who often uses biohacking as a Xenofeminist practice of care that serves to demystify the invisible lines of molecular biopower. The event will begin with a welcome by Dr. Denisa Tomková (FHS), an introduction to the project by Zai Xu (SVĚTOVA 1), and will be followed by Mary Maggic’s artist talk.
3 June 2024 – 4 June 2024
The workshop aims to bring together scholars focusing on theoretical, methodological, and practical aspects of biographical research (mainly) set in Central and Eastern European countries and to initiate their discussion with key figures in the biographical network: Professor Hans Renders and Doctor David Veltman, both from the Biography Institute at the Faculty of Arts, University of Groningen, Netherlands. The goal is to discuss general topics as well as (potential) regional specifics.
