Often I like unknown paintings. That's what happened here - first I found the pictures, then I went to look for the name - it is Arrington de Dionyso. There is some information below too. 

Arrington de Dionyso (b. 1974) is an Olympia, Washington-based artist and experimental musician. He was a member of Old Time Relijun since the 1990s. During Old Time Relijun's hiatus, he formed a new band based on Indonesian music called Malaikat dan Singa. De Dionyso directed Reak: Trance Music and Possession in West Java, a documentary film about the music of an Indonesian trance ceremony; the film was shown by the Olympia Film Society in May, 2016.

MWSA Interview with John Winn Miller

Interview date: 31 May 2023

John Winn Miller is an award-winning investigative reporter, foreign correspondent, newspaper editor and publisher, screenwriter, movie producer, and novelist.

As a reporter at the Lexington (KY) Herald-Leader, Miller was part of a team of reporters that wrote a series that helped trigger educational reform in Kentucky. It was a Pulitzer Prize finalist and won the Society of Professional Journalists’1990 public service award, top honors from Investigative Reporters and Editors, and the first $25,000 Selden Ring award.

He also was a reporter at the Associated Press and the Wall Street Journal/Europe; executive editor of the Centre Daily Times in State College, PA, and the Tallahassee (FL) Democrat as well as the publisher at The Olympian in Olympia, WA, and the Concord (NH) Monitor.

In 2012, he was elected to The Associated Press board of directors and selected as a juror for the Pulitzer Prize for the second year in a row.

Miller, a Lexington, KY native, has also produced four films, including Band of Robbers, written and directed by Adam and Aaron Nee (who recently wrote and directed The Lost City). He and his wife, Margo, live in Lexington. Their daughter Allison Miller is an actress-screenwriter-director currently starring in the ABC series A Million Little Things.

MWSA: How long have you been associated with MWSA?

Since April 2023

MWSA: Why did you choose to write a World War II maritime thriller?

Strangely, the inspiration for the novel was a dream. When my daughter Allison was young, we watched a really bad action-adventure film together–I don’t remember which one–and I kept telling myself I could write a better screenplay. That night I had a dream and when I woke up, I knew the first scene and the last scene and the name of the ship Peggy C. That was all. So, like Michelangelo used to say, I knew there was a figure in that block of stone – in my case, a story -- and all I had to do was spend years trying to chisel it free.

MWSA: Do you have any experience on ships?

I’ve never been on a tramp steamer or a U-boat, and I have no naval background. That meant I had to do a lot more research. But I also love classic naval novels like "Sea Wolf" and "Lord Jim" (but not "Moby Dick") because they combine adventure, exotic locations and fascinating characters.

MWSA: Since you had no naval experience, what was your research process like?

Books, books, books, documentaries, and endless web searches on such sites as www.uboat.net. Thank goodness for e-books that allowed me to take lots of notes quickly. I watched "Das Boot" years ago but didn’t review it recently because I wanted to avoid copying scenes from it. One research problem was finding myself going down rabbit holes for hours in pursuit of one more interesting fact, leading to yet more searches. I also use footnotes to go back and verify everything. My book involves a lot of nautical and technical details as well as obscure historical facts, so I had to be extra careful.

For example, in my relentless pursuit for accuracy, I found a website that had the daily logs of all U-boats that let me accurately report the phases of the moon on each day of the Peggy C’s journey. I had the novel fact-checked by a Ph.D. student at The Department of War Studies at King’s College London, and a novelist who was a former U.S. Navy petty officer who served on a submarine.

MWSA: Are the characters in your novel based on real historical figures?

The commander of the U-boat, Oberleutnant Viktor Brauer, is an amalgamation of several real U-boat captains. I cherry-picked the worst characteristics and actions of those captains, of course, but also tried to make Brauer more human and not a cliché Nazi. Captain Jake Rogers, our hero, is largely my creation, but some of his backstory comes from the lives of James Fenimore Cooper and my father. The other characters are my creations.

MWSA: Who is your favorite character?

Miriam, the eldest daughter of the Jewish family being rescued, is my favorite character. She’s much more than just a love interest. She’s smart, tough, and compassionate, and constantly challenges Captain Jake Rogers to change his mercenary ways. Her strength turns out to be the key to everyone’s survival, giving the lie to the myth that Jews never fought back.I'd like to add another question & answer

MWSA: You've had lots of experience as a journalist. Did that play a role in your writing?

The funny thing is that I became a journalist because I wanted to be a novelist. But I realized at the time I didn’t know how to write. Plus, I had no exciting experiences to write about. Journalism seemed like the best way to remedy those deficiencies. I loved that career but the newspaper industry collapsed. When I retired for the first time, I decided that I was going to learn how to write screenplays because I still didn’t feel confident that I could write a novel. The Peggy C was my first screenplay. I actually had some luck getting it into big production companies in Hollywood to pitch it. It won an award and accolades on such sites as The Black List, but nobody bought it. When I was stuck at home during the pandemic, I decided it was time to try my hand at turning it into a novel.I'd like to add another question & answer

MWSA: Did you hide any surprises in it for true history buffs?

It is loaded with historical details that truly surprised me – and I have read a ton of World War II histories and biographies. Here's just one that plays a key role in my plot. BAM-100 was a big surprise. Turns out that one of the reasons the English won the Battle of Britain, besides the bravery of the crews and the quality of the planes, was the fuel known as British Air Ministry 100 octane. It was developed by Standard Oil after Dunkirk and allowed British planes to fly faster and climb quicker than German planes. It took a while for the surprised Nazis to figure out what had changed, but there was nothing they could do about it. Their planes ran on fuel from coal gasification, which could only reach 80 octane.

MWSA: You adapted the novel from a screenplay. What challenges did that present?

A screenplay is more like a haiku. It only contains what the viewer can see and hear. There is no interior monologue, no insight into behaviors, and no background information. That meant I had to flesh out the characters and their backstories. I also had to go into great detail about the operations of the ship and the U-boat and the duties of their crews. Each location had to be described not just by sight and sound but by smell and feelings, and history.

For example, teens looking to pursue screenwriting can attend one, two, and three week intensives in screenwriting with the option to develop two short scenarios (4-8 runners each), one longer script (10-12 runners), or the first act of a point- length script. The course is designed to serve as a precursor to moviemaking shops in which scholars will produce and direct the scenarios that they write in this course during a SOCAPA moviemaking session later in the summer or the ensuing time. Teens aged 13-18 can attend camps in Vermont, Los Angeles, or NYC.

Aksys Reveals Paradigm Paradox and More Otome Games for the West

  Aksys Games hopped on Twitch earlier today for the All Aksys event, taking the opportunity to reveal a bunch of new titles for 2022 and beyond. Chief among them were four otome games—specifically four developed by Otomate—which are all set to make their way to Nintendo Switch in the west.

  Upcoming Otomate visual novels include Lover Pretend, Paradigm Paradox, Kimi wa Yukima ni Koinegau, and Piofiore: Episodio 1926. Check out trailers and more info for each below. 

  Lover Pretend 

    Synopsis:

Chiyuki lives alone, spending all her time studying for university and doing part-time work. She has two dreams in life: to become a scriptwriter—also a dream of her late mother—and to find her father whom she never met. From clues left behind, it seems her mother was writing a drama script before she was born. Chiyuki lands a job as an assistant to a scriptwriter for a film that the sons of the drama staff are making. She searches for information while working her new job, but in a twist of events ends up cast in the role of their love interest…? This is a pretend love role, not true love. Can Chiyuki create a script about fake lovers, while not knowing anything about falling in love herself?

  Paradigm Paradox

    Synopsis:

The year is 25XX, a world where mankind lives only in isolated colonies. The protagonist, a student at the academy, is bored with the drudgery of everyday life, a day-to-day existence untouched by gossip about "Heroes" and "Vermin," the enemy of mankind, and unnoticed by the good-looking guys at the academy. One night she slips out of the dormitory and encounters colony-invading Vermin, landing herself in danger! Four girls appear suddenly and repel the Vermin with miraculous abilities. The protagonist decides to work as a Hero, leading a busy life as both a student and champion of justice. But why is it that she has more opportunities to talk to the good-looking guys everyone is whispering about…? What is their (the girls’ / guys’) secret…? And what is the enemy’s true identity…?

  Kimi wa Yukima ni Koinegau [English title pending]

    Synopsis:

The first year of the Kyoho era. The land is ruled by the eighth shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune. Repeated incidents caused by monsters in the town of Edo upset and frighten the people so the Tokugawa shogunate establishes the “Oniwaban” to maintain public order and secured the town. Seasons passed—to year 11 of the Kyoho era. A girl in a village far from Edo has the power to see a "black thread" before every catastrophe and the panicked villagers drove her away into the snowy mountains. One day, a young man going by the name of Oniwaban appears before her. This is a story in which a girl encounters "non-humans," and learns about love.

  Piofiore: Episodio 1926

    Synopsis:

The full sequel to last year’s hit Piofiore finds Liliana immersed once again in the dangerous Mafia turf wars and intrigues that tear apart the city of Burlone.

  That's not all that made it into the showcase. Here are some other titles Aksys announced:

  RICO London (NSW, PS4, Xbox One/Fall 2021) - The door-kicking, gang-busting crime fighters are back and this time they’re in 1999 London. RICO London is a first-person shooter about making an impactful entrance, blasting the bad guys, and taking care of business.

    Olympia Soirée (NSW/September 9, 2021) - With her entire clan wiped out years ago, Olympia has been isolated for most of her life. Now she lives as the only person on Tenguu Island who can perform the ritual that restores light to a world shrouded in darkness. The heads of each Primary district—Red, Blue, and Yellow—lead a society governed by the island's rigid class structure. As Olympia travels between the districts, she discovers their wonders and their weaknesses, as well as an entire underground community of shunned individuals whom she becomes determined to help. If she can find the person destined to be her soulmate, she will finally be able to open her heart and reveal her true name, continue her bloodline, and save the world before it is destroyed.

    Undernauts: Labyrinth of Yomi (PS4, Xbox One, NSW, PC/October 28, 2021; PS5/2022) – Tokyo, 1979. When a massive, mysterious structure suddenly rises from the ground, the government sends a team to investigate. You have been selected to join an elite group of underground explorers employed by Cassandra Company. Unfortunately, you are not the only one searching these caverns. Terrifying monsters lurk in the shadows. Dangerous criminals hunt for resources. Large numbers of people are missing. The test of your survival skills begins now...

    Dairoku: Agents of Sakuratani (NSW/December 2, 2021) - Ever since she could remember, Shino Akitsu has had the ability to see what others could not: spirits, apparitions, and indescribable creatures. As an adult, this talent leads her to join a secret government agency: The Occult Action Department. Her assignment is with the Sixth Special Preventions Office, and her job is to monitor the powerful beings who travel between her world and the worlds beyond. From her office in Sakuratani, a town in a different dimension, Agent Shino meets several otherworldly individuals with vastly different personalities and abilities: a nine-tailed fox spirit, a mischievous oni, and more. Part gatekeeper, part travel guide, she does her best to get to know these entities and keep them from getting into inter-dimensional trouble.

    Pups & Purrs Animal Hospital (NSW/November 11, 2021) - Become the very best veterinarian ever! These adorable pets aren’t feeling well, so let's give them the care they need! Pups & Purrs Animal Hospital is a simulation game in which you can have a dream job taking care of cute, fluffy friends.

    Variable Barricade (NSW/February 2022) - A member of a prestigious family and heiress to a fortune, Hibari learns that her eccentric grandfather is determined to find her a husband. He arranges to house her in a luxurious villa along with four handsome, hand-picked bachelors and her private butler. As her suitors try to win her hand by any means necessary, Hibari endures endless everyday trials and temptations. Has grandfather chosen poorly, or is there more to these fellows than meets the eye? Through all of this, Hibari has two important goals: frighten off each of these marriage candidates, and absolutely refuse to fall in love.

    Blazing Strike (PS4, PS5, NSW, PC/2022) - Inspired by classic arcade fighting game series from industry greats such as Capcom and SNK, the upcoming 2D fighting game from developer RareBreed Makes Games is Blazing Strike evokes the excitement and nostalgia of 2D pixel art genre pioneers while incorporating a unique games system with modern mechanics.

A Manga Exhibit for the World to Experience

Around the summer of last year, the British Museum had one of the most extensive manga exhibitions in history. Manga マンガ - The Citi Exhibition, curated by the Sainsbury Institute, was something that I wish we had here in America. I saw some videos on Twitter from manga fans and industry folks who got a chance to visit the exhibition and I have to say, I couldn’t help but feel somewhat jealous.

Thankfully, there was a book that came out for fans who couldn’t visit the exhibit over the summer. The Manga Citi Exhibition book is a worthwhile read into a global phenomenon that has smashed cultural barriers and brought a world of fans together in ways Japan could not have foreseen.

The book is separated into 6 major chapters with topics ranging from learning to understand manga through reading/drawing/producing to storytelling to unseen/seen worlds to the intersection between manga and society.  There’s also discussion about the histories of Katsuhisa Hokusai and Kawanabe Kyosai, two artists who perhaps were the originators of manga and set the foundation for manga today back in the ‘1800s. One more notable topic was on how to expand manga’s boundaries via other media like anime and alternative manga. Subjects such as Osamu Tezuka, shojo manga, the growing popularity of sports manga post-WWII, Japan’s love of Alice in Wonderland, and Captain Tsubasa’s impact overseas are also covered to round out a basic primer.

There’s a lot of art displayed in the book from popular artists such as Akiko Higashimura, Satoru Noda, Takehiko Inoue, Hikaru Nakamura, Katsuhiro Otomo, Moto Hagio and others. The book unfortunately doesn’t show all the art from the actual exhibit itself (though there’s a checklist in the back). There’s still a ton of information and lots to learn from various interviews with manga industry professionals. The interviews are well in-depth and I want to share some of those answers that shine light to how much manga and the subculture behind it has done wonders to our mental health and well-being.

Like this answer from Haruhiko Suzuki, managing director of Shueisha, to a question that I think we love to answer when asked.

“Why is manga important to you? Manga has become a necessity for both young and old. Manga is said to offer solace to children, especially those who suffer bullying and no longer feel safe attending school. I often hear such stories from adult readers who survived these traumatic experiences.  Along with food, clothing and shelter, manga and television have become an essential part of the nation’s survival kit. Despite changing values over time, there are still many, in my view, for whom manga plays a fundamental role in their lives. Manga is an ephemeral pleasure: reading it once and disposing of it is part of the manga experience; at the same time it is a transformative pleasure that could trigger a life-changing experience. Just as there are as many football players who choose the profession after reading Captain Tsubasa, there are an incredible number of people who tell me that they find their strength to face another tough week from reading the weekly ONE PIECE episode, which comes out every Monday in Shonen Jump.”

Here’s a quote from Kazuhiko Torishima, chairman of Hakusensha, on what manga can be for future generations.

“Manga is the most cost-effective entertainment to help children escape from reality. It is often said that manga will not change the world, but when you’re reading it, you can forget about the world. My philosophy is that if children read manga and feel energized by it, then that is a beautiful thing.”

Mari Yamazaki, famous for Thermae Romae and Olympia Kyklos, pointed out the bias that some people have against manga and the struggle that most of us feel when we’re expressive about our manga fandom.

“There are people who feel that manga are just illustrated substitutes for more serious books, or for children. I really hope we can overcome such biases. Images are a potent device for conveying thoughts that words fail to express. Manga are as powerful as films in their ability to deliver complex plots and characters. I hope people understand that creating manga requires hard work and dedication.”

There’s a final quote I’ll relay from Takehiko Inoue, who fans know for Slam Dunk, Vagabond, and REAL. This is his response on what message he wanted to give manga fans in the UK (though I think it also applies to the rest of the Western world).

“Parallel to the world we are all living in, there is a world called manga where people are living as well. I want to draw manga with people living their lives in situations that are only slightly ‘unbelievable’ compared to our own lives.

I’m pleased if readers put down my books thinking that they have found something that makes living in this world more interesting than it was before they read them.”

There’s a good number of people who find the world hard to live in. I sometimes feel that some of them could use a reader that can lend them a book to read. Literacy can help empower someone’s life. That’s how I fell in love with books at a very young age. Books, like manga, have opened up my eyes to many possibilities. They open up worlds of imagination that can play a huge role in shaping your life. Books helped made life bearable for me. 

Much like what the Manga Citi Exhibition has done, I think we can play a part in making sure that manga continues to have an impact on society and goes further beyond museum exhibitions to be one day known as a classic form of art that can bring a modern world together during times of duress. (This book is an excellent read and a good book for any “introduction to manga” classes. I highly recommend it.)

Sidney Joseph Bechet (May 14, 1897 – May 14, 1959) was an American jazz saxophonist, clarinetist, and composer. He was one of the first important soloists in jazz, beating trumpeter Louis Armstrong to the recording studio by several months. His erratic temperament hampered his career, and not until the late 1940s did he earn wide acclaim.

Biography

Bechet was born in New Orleans in 1897 to a middle-class Creole of color family. His older brother, Leonard Victor Bechet, was a full-time dentist and a part-time trombonist and bandleader. Bechet learned several musical instruments that were kept around the house, mostly by teaching himself; he decided to specialize in the clarinet (which he played almost exclusively until about 1919). At the age of six, he started playing with his brother's band at a family birthday party, debuting his talents to acclaim. Later in his youth, Bechet studied with Lorenzo Tio, "Big Eye" Louis Nelson Delisle, and George Baquet.

Bechet played in many New Orleans ensembles using the improvisational techniques of the time (obbligatos with scales and arpeggios and varying the melody). He performed in parades with Freddie Keppard's brass band, the Olympia Orchestra, and in John Robichaux's dance orchestra. From 1911 to 1912, he performed with Bunk Johnson in the Eagle Band of New Orleans and in 1913–14 with King Oliver in the Olympia Band. From 1914 to 1917 he was touring and traveling, going as far north as Chicago and frequently performing with Freddie Keppard. In the spring of 1919, he traveled to New York City where he joined Will Marion Cook's Syncopated Orchestra. Soon after, the orchestra traveled to Europe; almost immediately upon arrival, they performed at the Royal Philharmonic Hall in London. The group was warmly received, and Bechet was especially popular. While in London, he discovered the straight soprano saxophone and developed a style unlike his clarinet tone. His saxophone sound could be described as emotional, reckless, and large. He often used a broad vibrato, similar to what was common among some New Orleans clarinetists at the time. On July 30, 1923, he began recording. The session was led by Clarence Williams, a pianist and songwriter, better known at that time for his music publishing and record producing. Bechet recorded "Wild Cat Blues" and "Kansas City Man Blues". "Wild Cat Blues" is in a ragtime style with four 16-bar themes, and "Kansas City Man Blues" is a 12-bar blues.

In 1919, Ernest Ansermet, a Swiss conductor of classical music, wrote a tribute to Bechet, one of the earliest (if not the first) to a jazz musician from the field of classical music, linking Bechet's music with that of Bach.

On September 15, 1925, Bechet and other members of the Revue Nègre, including Josephine Baker, sailed to Europe, arriving at Cherbourg, France, on September 22. The revue opened at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris on October 2. He toured Europe with various bands, reaching as far as Russia in mid-1926. In 1928, he led his small band at Chez Bricktop in Montmartre, Paris.

He was imprisoned in Paris for eleven months. In his autobiography, he wrote that he accidentally shot a woman when he was trying to shoot a musician who had insulted him. He had challenged the man to duel and said, "Sidney Bechet never plays the wrong chord." After his release, he was deported to New York, arriving soon after the stock market crash of 1929. He joined Noble Sissle's orchestra, which toured in Germany and Russia.

In 1932, Bechet returned to New York City to lead a band with Tommy Ladnier. The band, consisting of six members, performed at the Savoy Ballroom. He went on to play with Lorenzo Tio and also got to know trumpeter Roy Eldridge.

In 1938 "Hold Tight, Hold Tight (Want Some Seafood Mama)", commonly known as "Hold Tight", was composed by Bechet's guitarist Leonard Ware and two session singers with claimed contributions from Bechet himself. The song became known for its suggestive lyrics and then for a series of lawsuits over songwriter royalties.

In 1939, Bechet and the pianist Willie "The Lion" Smith led a group that recorded several early versions of what was later called Latin jazz, adapting traditional méringue, rhumba and Haitian songs to the jazz idiom. On July 28, 1940, Bechet made a guest appearance on the NBC Radio show The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street, playing two of his showpieces ("Shake It and Break It" and "St. Louis Blues") with Henry Levine's Dixieland band. Levine invited Bechet into the RCA Victor recording studio (on 24th Street in New York City), where Bechet lent his soprano sax to Levine's traditional arrangement of "Muskrat Ramble". On April 18, 1941, as an early experiment in overdubbing at Victor, Bechet recorded a version of the pop song "The Sheik of Araby", playing six different instruments: clarinet, soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone, piano, bass, and drums. A hitherto unissued master of this recording was included in the 1965 LP Bechet of New Orleans, issued by RCA Victor as LPV-510. In the liner notes, George Hoeffer quoted Bechet:

I started by playing The Sheik on piano, and played the drums while listening to the piano. I meant to play all the rhythm instruments, but got all mixed up and grabbed my soprano, then the bass, then the tenor saxophone, and finally finished up with the clarinet.

In 1944, 1946, and 1953 he recorded and performed in concert with the Chicago jazz pianist and vibraphonist Max Miller, private recordings that are part of Miller's archive and have never been released. These concerts and recordings are described in John Chilton's biography Sidney Bechet: The Wizard of Jazz.

With jobs in music difficult to find, he opened a tailor shop with Ladnier. They were visited by musicians and played in the back of the shop. In the 1940s, Bechet played in several bands, but his financial situation did not improve until the end of that decade. By the end of the 1940s, Bechet had tired of struggling to make music in the United States. His contract with Jazz Limited, a Chicago-based record label, was limiting the events at which he could perform (for instance, the label would not permit him to perform at the 1948 Festival of Europe in Nice). He believed that the jazz scene in the United States had little left to offer him and was getting stale. In 1950 he moved to France, after his performance as a soloist at the Paris Jazz Fair caused a surge in his popularity in that country, where he easily found well-paid work. In 1951, he married Elisabeth Ziegler in Antibes.

In 1953, he signed a recording contract with Disques Vogue that lasted for the rest of his life. He recorded many hit tunes, including "Les Oignons", "Promenade aux Champs-Elysees", and the international hit "Petite Fleur". He also composed a classical ballet score in the late Romantic style of Tchaikovsky called La Nuit est sorcière ("The Night Is a Witch"). Some existentialists in France took to calling him le dieu ("the god").

Shortly before his death, Bechet dictated his autobiography, Treat It Gentle, to Al Rose, a record producer and radio host. He had worked with Rose several times in concert promotions and had a fractious relationship with him. Bechet's view of himself in his autobiography was starkly different from the one Rose knew. "The kindly old gentleman in his book was filled with charity and compassion. The one I knew was self-centered, cold, and capable of the most atrocious cruelty, especially toward women." Although embellished and frequently inaccurate, Treat It Gentle remains a staple account for the "insider's view of the New Orleans tradition."

Bechet died in Garches, near Paris, of lung cancer on May 14, 1959, his 62nd birthday, and is buried in a local cemetery.

Bechet played a jazz musician in three films, Serie Noire, L'Inspecteur connait la musique and, Quelle équipe!

His playing style was intense and passionate and had a wide vibrato. He was also known to be proficient at playing several instruments and a master of improvisation (both individual and collective). Bechet liked to have his sound dominate in a performance, and trumpeters found it difficult to play alongside him.

On June 25, 2019, The New York Times Magazine listed Sidney Bechet among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire.

In October of the same year he finally won the first big BB championship in Stuttgart when he was voted "Best-Built Junior Athlete".

Schwarzenegger has been interested in hero and sandal films since his youth. He decided early on to do the same as his role models and to become an actor. His imposing appearance helped Schwarzenegger gain a foothold in the film business - initially under the pseudonym Arnold Strong. His first role was Hercules in the film Hercules in New York (1970), in which his American original voice had to be synchronized due to its strong Styrian accent. With a total of seven Mr. Olympia titles and five Mr. Universum titles, Arnold Schwarzenegger was the most successful bodybuilder of his time and is still regarded as a defining personality in bodybuilding.

Her Prophet Speaks: The Six Mothers of The Sisterhood

~I had been planing on an essay about how these six women laid the foundations of The Sisterhood, but it has proved to be a daunting task. And I need to get the first edition of the Liber published. So I'm punting.

I'll write said essay for a later edition. For now, here is the opening text from their respective Wikis with links to same...

Shulamith "Shulie" Firestone (January 7, 1945 – August 28, 2012)[2] was a Canadian-American radical feminist. A central figure in the early development of radical feminism and second-wave feminism, Firestone was a founding member of three radical-feminist groups: New York Radical Women, Redstockings, and New York Radical Feminists.

In 1970, Firestone authored The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution. Published in September of that year, the book became an influential feminist text.[3]Naomi Wolf said of the book in 2012: "No one can understand how feminism has evolved without reading this radical, inflammatory, second-wave landmark."

Donna J. Haraway (born September 6, 1944) is an American Professor Emerita in the History of Consciousness Department and Feminist Studies Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz, United States.[1] She is a prominent scholar in the field of science and technology studies, described in the early 1990s as a "feminist, rather loosely a postmodernist".[2] Haraway is the author of numerous foundational books and essays that bring together questions of science and feminism, such as "A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century" (1985) and "Situated Knowledges: The Science Question in Feminism and the Privilege of Partial Perspective" (1988).[3][4] She is also a leading scholar in contemporary ecofeminism, associated with post-humanism and new materialism movements.[5][6] Her work criticizes anthropocentrism, emphasizes the self-organizing powers of nonhuman processes, and explores dissonant relations between those processes and cultural practices, rethinking sources of ethics.[7]

Haraway has taught Women's Studies and the History of Science at the University of Hawaii and Johns Hopkins University. Haraway's works have contributed to the study of both human-machine and human-animal relations. Her works have sparked debate in primatology, philosophy, and developmental biology.[8] Haraway participated in a collaborative exchange with the feminist theorist Lynn Randolph from 1990 to 1996. Their engagement with specific ideas relating to feminism, technoscience, political consciousness, and other social issues, formed the images and narrative of Haraway's book Modest_Witness for which she received the Society for Social Studies of Science's (4S) Ludwik Fleck Prize in 1999.[9][10] In September 2000, Haraway was awarded the Society for Social Studies of Science's highest honor, the J. D. Bernal Award, for her "distinguished contributions" to the field.[11] Haraway serves on the advisory board for numerous academic journals, including differences, Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, Contemporary Women's Writing, and Environmental Humanities.

Andrea Rita Dworkin (September 26, 1946 – April 9, 2005) was an American radical feminist and writer best known for her criticism of pornography, which she argued was linked to rape and other forms of violence against women. Her views were widely criticized by liberal feminists and others. At the same time, she maintained a dialogue with political conservatives, and wrote a topically related book, Right-Wing Women. After suffering abuse from her first husband, she was introduced to radical feminist literature, and began writing Woman Hating.

After moving to New York, she became an activist and a writer on several issues, eventually publishing 10 books on feminism.

During the late 1970s and 1980s, Dworkin became known as a spokeswoman for the feminist anti-pornography movement, and for her writing on pornography and sexuality, particularly Pornography: Men Possessing Women (1981) and Intercourse (1987), which remain her two most widely known books. She wrote on pornography from a feminist perspective and in opposition to obscenity law, and she worked with Women Against Pornography and Linda Boreman. She considered the pornography industry to be based on turning women into objects for abuse by men. Dworkin and Catharine MacKinnon developed a legislative approach based on civil rights rather than obscenity to outlaw pornography and allow lawsuits against pornographers for damages, but their efforts were largely unsuccessful. She testified at a federal commission against pornography, leading some stores to withdraw certain magazines from sale, but a court ruled the government's efforts unconstitutional. Critics argued that no causal relationship between pornography and harm to women had been found. In 1992, a Canadian court adapted parts of Dworkin and MacKinnon's theory on sex equality, although Dworkin opposed parts of the court's view. Some sex-positive feminists criticized Dworkin's views as censorious and as denying women's agency or choice in sexual relationships, leading to the so-called feminist sex wars.

Her book Intercourse, which addresses the role of sexual intercourse in society, has been interpreted as opposing all heterosexual intercourse, but Dworkin said it does not and that what she was against was male domination by intercourse. Some critics of Dworkin accused her of supporting incest, and she sued for defamation, but a court did not forbid the criticism. She subsequently wrote much in opposition to incest. She wrote some fiction, some of which was held for a time by Canadian customs authorities before it was released, giving rise to a controversy over whether her support for antipornography law had led to the seizure of her own work. When she said she was drugged and raped in a hotel in 1999, controversy over the truth of the allegations followed. In her later years, she suffered from severe osteoarthritis, which limited her mobility. She died of acute myocarditis at the age of 58.

Catharine Alice MacKinnon (born October 7, 1946) is an American radical feminist legal scholar. She is the Elizabeth A. Long Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School, where she has been tenured since 1990, and the James Barr Ames Visiting Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. From 2008 to 2012, she was the special gender adviser to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.[1][2]

As an expert on international law, constitutional law, political and legal theory, and jurisprudence, MacKinnon focuses on women's rights and sexual abuse and exploitation, including sexual harassment, rape, prostitution, sex trafficking and pornography. She was among the first to argue that pornography is a civil rights violation, and that sexual harassment in education and employment constitutes sex discrimination.[1][3]

MacKinnon is the author of over a dozen books, including Sexual Harassment of Working Women (1979);[4]Feminism Unmodified (1987), described as "one of the most widely cited books on law in the English language";[5]Toward a Feminist Theory of the State (1989); Only Words (1993); a casebook, Sex Equality (2001 and 2007); Women's Lives, Men's Laws (2005); and Butterfly Politics (2017).

Susannah Bright, also known as Susie Sexpert (born March 25, 1958), is an American feminist, author, journalist, critic, editor, publisher, producer, and performer, often on the subject of sexual politics and sexuality.[1]

She is one of the first writers/activists referred to as a sex-positive feminist.[2] Her papers are part of the Human Sexuality Collection at Cornell University Library along with the archives of On Our Backs.

Valerie Jean Solanas (April 9, 1936 – April 25, 1988) was an American radical feminist and author best known for writing the SCUM Manifesto, which she self-published in 1967, and attempting to murder Andy Warhol in 1968.

Solanas had a turbulent childhood. She said her father regularly sexually abused her and she had a volatile relationship with her mother and stepfather after her parents' divorce. She was sent to live with her grandparents but ran away after being physically abused by her alcoholic grandfather. Solanas came out as a lesbian in the 1950s. After graduating with a degree in psychology from the University of Maryland, College Park, Solanas relocated to Berkeley, California, where she began writing her most notable work, the SCUM Manifesto, which urged women to "overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and eliminate the male sex".[1][2]

Solanas moved to New York City in the mid-1960s. She met pop artist Andy Warhol and asked him to produce her play Up Your Ass. She gave him her script, which she later accused him of losing or stealing. After Solanas demanded financial compensation for the lost script, Warhol hired her to perform in his film, I, a Man, paying her $25. In 1967, Solanas began self-publishing the SCUM Manifesto. Olympia Press owner Maurice Girodias offered to publish Solanas's future writings, and she understood the contract to mean that Girodias would own her writing. Convinced that Girodias and Warhol were conspiring to steal her work, Solanas purchased a gun in early 1968.

On June 3, 1968, she went to The Factory, where she found Warhol. She shot at Warhol three times, the first two shots missing and the third wounding Warhol. She also shot art critic Mario Amaya and attempted to shoot Warhol's manager, Fred Hughes, point blank, but the gun jammed. Solanas then turned herself in to the police. She was charged with attempted murder, assault, and illegal possession of a gun. She was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and pleaded guilty to "reckless assault with intent to harm", serving a three-year prison sentence, including treatment in a psychiatric hospital. After her release, she continued to promote the SCUM Manifesto. She died in 1988 of pneumonia in San Francisco.

The Sisterhood is not in total alignment with the philosophies/ideologies of these six women. In fact a few of them might reject SH in whole or in part. But without their work, SH would not, likely could not, exist.

Με πρώτες ύλες προσωπικές αναμνήσεις και καταγεγραμμένα γεγονότα που αφορούν τις ζωές ιστορικών προσώπων, η σπονδυλωτή αφήγηση ξεκινάει με ένα άρρωστο γατάκι και διατρέχει κάθετα τον ιστορικό χρόνο, υφαίνοντας ταχύρυθμα μια σειρά γεγονότων με κεντρικό άξονα την έννοια της φροντίδας ως γυναικεία μορφή εργασίας αλλά και ως πρακτική θρησκευτικής εξιλέωσης. The Famous Nurse, Margarita Athanasiou, 2018, Greece, 7’ (EN/EL) Borrowing the visual language of vlogs, Margarita Athanasiou constructs an unexpected, often humorous account where narrative conventions are as utilised as they are undermined. With personal memories and recorded events as her raw material, Athanasiou collages information into a stream-of-thought narrative that begins with a sick kitten outside her home and ends up narrating the lives of historical women in order to trace notions of nursing as a historically female mode of labour and caring as a religious practice.

Pirate Boys, Pol Merchan, 2018, Γερμανία, 13΄ (EN/EL) Το πορτρέτο με τίτλο Twirl (στροβιλισμός) της πανκ συγγραφέως Kathy Acker (Νέα Υόρκη, 1947 - Tijuana, 1997) αποτελεί το σημείο εκκίνησης για μια συνομιλία με τον/την φωτογράφο Del LaGrace Volcano (Καλιφόρνια, 1957) σχετικά με την ταυτότητα φύλου και τον μετασχηματισμό του σώματος. Το έργο της Kathy Acker συνδέθηκε με το αντι-φορμαλιστικό και πανκ κίνημα των δεκαετιών '70 και '80. Τα μυθιστορήματά της κατασκευάστηκαν χρησιμοποιώντας τις τεχνικές cut-up, της απομίμησης και της οικειοποίησης, και υιοθετήθηκαν από εγκληματίες, επαναστάτριες* και πειρατίνες*. Η ταινία χρησιμοποιεί αποσπάσματα από το μυθιστόρημα "Pussy, King of the Pirates", το οποίο δημοσιεύθηκε το 1996 από το Grove Press. Το Pirate Boys είναι μια υβριδική ταινία, κάτι ανάμεσα σε ντοκιμαντέρ και μυθοπλασία, τραβηγμένο με Super 8 κάμερα και με ένα κινηματογραφικό καστ που αποτελείται από transgender, intersex και genderqueer υποκείμενα. Η ταινία διαδραματίζεται στο Tuntenhaus (House of Fagots), μια κατάληψη του Βερολίνου από το 1981, κατοικημένη από ομοφυλόφιλους άνδρες. Αναζητώντας τα κουήρ ίχνη με τη μορφή και το περιεχόμενο της γραφής της Acker, αυτή η ταινία στοχεύει να παρουσιάσει νέους τρόπους για να νιώσουμε την πλαστικότητα του λογοτεχνικού και του κινηματογραφικού σώματος. Η φυσική παρουσία του σελλιλόιντ εκτίθεται σε όλη την ευαλωτότητα, προσκαλώντας τους/τις θεατές/τριες να δουν την ταινία μέσω μιας οπτικής της υφής. Η ταινία Pirate Boys δημιουργήθηκε με την υποστήριξη του Xposed Queer Φεστιβάλ Ταινιών Μικρού Μήκους, του τμήματος Πολιτισμού του Βερολίνου, της 25p *cine support GmbH και του Interflugs. Pirate Boys, Pol Merchan, 2018, Germany, 13’ (EN/EL) The portrait entitled Twirl of the punk writer Kathy Acker (New York, 1947 - Tijuana, 1997) is the starting point for a conversation with the photographer Del LaGrace Volcano (California, 1957) about gender identity and body transformation. Kathy Acker’s work was associated with the anti-formalist movement and with the punk movement of the 70s and 80s. Her novels were constructed using the cut-up technique, pastiche, and appropriation, and were inhabited by outlaws, rebels, and pirates. The film uses excerpts of the novel “Pussy, King of the Pirates”, published in 1996 by Grove Press. Pirate Boys is a hybrid film, documentary and fiction, shot with Super 8, and with a cast formed by transgender, intersex, and genderqueer subjects. The film is set in the Tuntenhaus (House of Faggots), a Berlin squat first occupied in 1981, inhabited by homosexual men. Searching for queer traces in the form and content of Acker’s writing, this film aims to present new ways of experiencing the plasticity of the literary and the filmic body. The physical presence of the celluloid is exposed in all its fragility, inviting the viewers to look at the film with a tactile eye. Pirate Boys is produced with the support of the Xposed Queer Short Film Festival, the Senate Department for Culture Berlin, 25p *cine support GmbH, and Interflugs. (Image: @ Pol Merchan, 2018)

Cinenova presents:

Backcomb, Sarah Pucill, 1995, UK, 5’ (no dialogue) To Backcomb (ξαίνω) αποτελεί μια συνέχεια της προβληματικής της καλλιτέχνιδας που η ίδια αποκαλεί "η οικιακή σκηνή", και την οποία χρησιμοποιεί για να μιλήσει για τα ζητήματα της σεξουαλικότητας και της κατασκευής της γυναικείας ταυτότητας. Στην ταινία η ανδρική στιβαρότητα αντιπροσωπεύεται μέσα στο τελετουργικό που σχετίζεται με το στήσιμο του τραπεζιού. Στο τελετουργικό αυτό αντιπαραβάλλεται η αστάθεια της θηλυκότητας, καθώς τα σχήματα του μαλακού (φαγητό, μαλλιά, ρούχα) και του υγρού στα κεραμικά δοχεία μεταβάλλονται. Η ταινία επιδίδεται σε μια διαδικασία που περνά από τον διαχωρισμό (μεταξύ της κάμερας και της σκηνής) προς τη διαταραχή που σπάει τα όρια: το φόρεμα, το τραπεζομάντιλο, η κρέμα, το γάλα και τα μαλλιά συνυφαίνονται. Η κλειστοφοβία της οικιακής σφαίρας συγχωνεύει το συναίσθημα με τον εγκλεισμό. Τα νεκρά και σιωπηλά μαλλιά ζωντανεύουν και καταστρέφουν τη σκηνή. Backcomb, Sarah Pucill, 1995, UK, 5’ (no dialogue) This piece continues the artist's concern with what she calls “the domestic scene” which she uses to address issues of sexuality and the construction of feminine identity. Masculine solidity is represented in the film within the ritual associated with the table set. This is set against the feminine of the unstable, changing shape of the soft (food, hair, clothes) and the liquid in the pottery containers. The film processes from an order of separateness (between the camera and the scene) to a disorder where boundaries are broken; the dress, table cloth, cream, milk and hair becoming intertwined. The claustrophobia of the domestic fuses the emotional with confinement. The dead and silent hair comes alive and wrecks the scene. (Image: @ Sarah Pucill, 1995)

Aletheia, Tran T Kim Trang, 1992, USA, 16’ (EN/EL) Μια εισαγωγική ταινία αποτελούμενη από μια σειρά οκτώ μερών σχετικά με την άγνοια και τις μεταφορές της. Οι πολλαπλοί λόγοι εντός των κειμένων (δημοσιογραφικοί, ανεκδοτικοί, πλασματικοί, τεκμηριωμένοι, φανταστικοί και θεωρητικοί) αποσκοπούν να προκαλέσουν ένα δραστήριο πεδίο ποικίλων μυθοπλασιών και προοπτικών. Οι ταινίες είναι δομημένες σε μεταβάσεις ροής/ρεύματος συνείδησης. Παρόλο που τα θέματα ταυτότητας και αναπαράστασης μέσω των μέσων μαζικής ενημέρωσης δε σκιαγραφούνται ως ξεχωριστά (επεισόδια), αποτελούν κυρίαρχη θεματική της σειράς. Το εν λόγω πρότζεκτ επικεντρώνεται στο Hollywood, το Beverly Hills και το Orange County (το οποίο έχει τον μεγαλύτερο πληθυσμό Βιετναμέζων εκτός του Βιετνάμ, καθώς και τον μεγαλύτερο πληθυσμό Ασιατών / από τα νησιά του Ειρηνικού Αμερικανών στις ΗΠΑ). Aletheia, Tran T Kim Trang, 1992, USA, 16’ (ΕΝ/EL) An introductory tape to an eight-part series on blindness and its metaphors. The multiple discourses resound in the texts (journalistic, anecdotal, fictive, factual, fantastic and theoretical) culled to bring on a playing field of various fictions and perspectives. The tapes are structured on stream-of-consciousness transitions. Although issues of identity and mass media representation are not outlined as one of the episodes, they are very much dominant themes in the series. The local of focus for this project is Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Orange County (which has the largest Vietnamese population outside Vietnam as well as the largest population of Asian/Pacific Island Americans in the US).

Now Pretend, Leah Gilliam, 1991, USA, 10’ (EN/EL) Η ταινία Now Pretend (Τώρα προσποιήσου) είναι μια πειραματική έρευνα σχετικά με τη χρήση της φυλής ως αυθαίρετο σημαίνον. Το έργο εκτυλίσσεται μόλις σε δέκα λεπτά μέσα από μια σειρά διαφορετικών εικόνων. Βασιζόμενη στη γλώσσα, στις προσωπικές αναμνήσεις και στο κείμενο του 1959, "Μαύρο σαν εμένα", η ταινία ασχολείται με το λακανικό "στάδιο του καθρέφτη", τις ιδεολογίες της ομορφιάς και τη μεταφορά από το αντικείμενο στο υποκείμενο. Το Now Pretend εξετάζει τη λειτουργία των ολοκληρωτικών ορισμών προς/εναντίον των women of colour αποτελεί μια οπτική και ηχητική προσπάθεια της αναπόλησης του εαυτού. Now Pretend, Leah Gilliam, 1991, USA, 10’ (EN/EL) Now Pretend is an experimental investigation into the use of race as an arbitrary signifier. In just ten minutes, this film quickly cycles through a diverse bank of images. Drawing on language, personal memories and the 1959 text, “Black like me”, it deals with Lacan's “mirror stage”, ideologies of the beautiful and the movement from object to subject. Now Pretend is a look at how totalizing definitions function for/against women of colour - a visual and sonic effort to re/collect the self. (Image: @ Leah Gilliam, 1991)

Back Inside Herself, Saundra Sharp, 1984, USA, 4’30’’ (EN/EL) Εμπνευσμένο από το ομώνυμο ποίημα της κινηματογραφίστριας Πίσω στον εαυτό της, η ταινία παροτρύνει την “Αφρο-Αμερικανίδα γυναίκα” να απορρίψει τις εικόνες που της έχουν αποδοθεί... "από ανθρώπους που δεν ακούν την ανάγκη της και δεν τη χρειάζονται εδώ" ... και να ανακαλύψει τη δική της ταυτότητα. Το συμπυκνωμένο μήνυμα αυτής της ταινίας απευθύνεται, όχι αποκλειστικά στις Αφρο-Αμερικανίδες γυναίκες, αλλά σε όλες τις γυναίκες και σε όλους τους καταπιεσμένους ανθρώπους. Απομακρύνοντας όλες αυτές τις θωρακίσεις εντός των οποίων βρισκόμαστε εγκλωβισμένες, αναζητώντας τους εαυτούς μας και αγαπώντας τους όπως είναι, θα μπορέσουμε να βρούμε τη δύναμη να αντιμετωπίσουμε τις μάχες ενός άδικου κόσμου.

Back Inside Herself, Saundra Sharp, 1984, USA, 4’30’’ (EN/EL) Inspired by the film maker's poem of the same name, Back inside herself urges African-American woman to reject images placed on her... “from people who don't hear her need and don't need her here”... and discover her own identity. The condensed message of this film goes beyond the African American Woman, to include all women and indeed all oppressed people. It says peel off those armours in which you encase yourself, and find yourself and love yourself as you are, then with this strength face the battles of an unjust world.

Nice Coloured Girls, Tracey Moffatt, 1987, Australia, 16’ (EN/EL) Το Nice Coloured Girls είναι ένα στυλιζαρισμένο πειραματικό δράμα που εξερευνά τη στάση των Αβοριγίνων γυναικών απέναντι στους λευκούς άνδρες και αντίστροφα. Εντοπίζοντας τις στάσεις αυτές, τόσο σε ιστορικό όσο και στο σύγχρονο πλαίσιο, το Nice Coloured Girls διατυπώνει μια ισχυρή δήλωση που αφορά στην καταπίεση των Αβοριγίνων γυναικών. Ταυτόχρονα γιορτάζει το πνεύμα και την εφευρετικότητα τους ως προς τις μεθόδους που χρησιμοποιούν για να γδάρουν τους λευκούς «καπετάνιους» (sugar daddies) που συναγωνίζονται για τις χάρες τους.

Nice Coloured Girls, Tracey Moffatt, 1987, Australia, 16’ (EN/EL) Nice Coloured Girls is a stylised experimental drama exploring attitudes of Aboriginal women to white men and vice versa. By locating these attitudes in both a historical and contemporary context Nice Coloured Girls makes a strong statement about the oppression of Aboriginal women as well as celebrating their wit and ingenuity in the methods they employ for fleecing white “captains” (sugar daddies) who vie for their favours.

17 Rooms (Or What Do Lesbians Do in Bed?), Caroline Sheldon, 1985, UK, 10’ (EN/EL) Τι κάνουν οι λεσβίες στο κρεβάτι; Με ένα soundtrack αστεριών της μουσικής, παρουσιάζονται γυναίκες να κάνουν τα πάντα στο κρεβάτι, να πλέκουν, να πίνουν τσάι, να παίζουν μαξιλαροπόλεμο.  Σε αυτά τα 17 δωμάτια, τα πάντα παρουσιάζονται ... τα πάντα, εκτός από “την πράξη” - το τελικό ειρωνικό σχόλιο. To 17 δωμάτια δεν ικανοποιεί απόλυτα την ηδονοβλεπτική περιέργεια των ανδρών, αλλά επιτρέπει στον/την θεατή να εξετάσει τις οπτικές αναπαραστάσεις των γυναικών, τη σεξουαλική ορολογία, τη λεγόμενη ερωτική μυθοπλασία και τη σημειωτική. 17 Rooms (Or What Do Lesbians Do in Bed?), Caroline Sheldon, 1985, UK, 10’ (EN/EL) What do lesbians do in bed? With a star-studded soundtrack, we're shown women doing everything in bed from knitting and drinking tea to having raucous pillow-fights. In these 17 rooms, everything is shown...everything that is, except “doing it” - the final ironic comment. 17 Rooms doesn't entirely satisfy the curiosity of male voyeurs but it does make the viewer examine visual representations of women, sexual terminology, so-called erotic fiction and semiotics on the way.

Wicked Women, Anna Brownfield, 2018, Australia, 6’ (EN/EN,EL) Ως αντίδραση στην πολιτική ορθότητα του λεσβιακού κινήματος της δεκαετίας του 1980, η Jasper (Francine) Laybutt και η Lisa ξεκίνησαν το περιοδικό Wicked Women (Κακές Γυναίκες) το 1988, αμφισβητώντας τις ιδέες για το λεσβιακό σεξ. Το Wicked Women δεν ήταν απλώς ένα πορνογραφικό περιοδικό: χρησιμοποιώντας παιχνιδιάρικες εικόνες και κείμενα διερεύνησε τη σεξουαλική ευχαρίστηση σε όλες τις μορφές της, συμπεριλαμβανομένου και του σαδομαζοχισμού. Λόγω του αμφιλεγόμενου χαρακτήρα της έκδοσης, η παραγωγή του περιοδικού βασίστηκε σε μεγάλο βαθμό σε εκδηλώσεις για τη συγκέντρωση χρημάτων. Η πιο περίφημη εκδήλωση ήταν ο «Διαγωνισμός Μις Κακία» όπου οι γυναίκες έκαναν στριπτίζ και άλλα δρώμενα μπροστά σε γυναικεία ακροατήρια. Το 1994 η Lisa και η Jasper αποχώρησαν από την πρώτη γραμμή της επιμέλειας και το 1996 το Wicked Women σταμάτησε να δημοσιεύεται έχοντας ήδη στο ιστορικό του 28 τεύχη. Wicked Women, Anna Brownfield, 2018, Australia, 6’ (EN/EN,EL) As a backlash to the politically correct 1980s lesbian movement, Jasper (Francine) Laybutt and Lisa started Wicked Women magazine in 1988, challenging the ideas of lesbian sex. Using playful images and text, Wicked Women wasn’t just pornography but explored sexual pleasure in all its forms including S&M. Due to its controversial nature, they relied heavily on fundraising events. The most infamous being the “Ms Wicked Competition” where women stripped and performed acts for an all-female audience. In 1994 Lisa and Jasper stepped back from the front line of editing and in 1996 Wicked Women ceased publication with 28 issues. (Image: @ Anna Brownfield, 2018) Pembe Hayat Kuirfest Ankara presents:

Room Ex, Demhat Aksoy, Turkey/Sweden, 2018, 8’ (no dialogue) Υπάρχουν ψέματα στις ζωές, ψέματα που προσποιούνται την αλήθεια. Σε αυτό το δίλημμα, θα σας μεταφέρω σε ένα δωμάτιο. Ένα δωμάτιο που αγκαλιάζει όλη την τρέλα. Room Ex, Demhat Aksoy, Turkey/Sweden, 2018, 8’ (no dialogue) There are lies in the lives, lies faking the truth. In this dilemma, I will bring you to a room.

Queer(s´) Talk(s)_translating, transwriting, transreading gender and body. Collaborative sound and video work, 2019, 10’ Alex Buschky, Maria F. Dolores, Kristalli Zacharioudaki, Dimitra Ioannou, Vicky Kamp, Ntiana Manesi, Anastasia Memmou, Christina Morfoulaki, Alkystis-Lara Papadaki, Vassiliea Stylianidou aka Franck-Lee Alli-Tis, Anna T., Ourania Tsiakalou, Myrto Tsilibounidi, Christina Foivi, Niovi Fotopoulou, Catherina Chatzidimitriou. Αυτό το οπτικοακουστικό έργο είναι το αποτέλεσμα του εργαστηρίου Queer(s´) Talk(s)_translating, transwriting, transreading gender and body που πραγματοποιήθηκε τον Μάιο 2019 στα πλαίσια του πρότζεκτ Αφροδίτη*. Στο εργαστήριο αυτό εξερευνήσαμε τη σχέση γλώσσας και τρανς*, κουιρ, και έμφυλα μη συμβατών σωμάτων (gender non-conforming bodies), καθώς και τα όρια μεταξύ γλώσσας και σωματικότητας. Οι γλώσσες δημιουργούν τόπους αποκλεισμών αλλά και συνοχής. Σε αυτό το εργαστήριο δεν προσπαθήσαμε να καταργήσουμε τις περιοχές που εμπεριέχουν κενά γνώσης ή κατανόησης, αλλά αντίθετα επιχειρήσαμε να τις κατανοήσουμε και να έρθουμε αντιμέτωπ@ με τα (συνεχώς μεταβαλλόμενα) όρια τους που άλλοτε μας περιλαμβάνουν και άλλοτε μας αποκλείουν.   Queer(s´) Talk(s)_translating, transwriting, transreading gender and body. Collaborative sound and video work, 2019, 10’ Alex Buschky, Maria F. Dolores, Kristalli Zacharioudaki, Dimitra Ioannou, Vicky Kamp, Ntiana Manesi, Anastasia Memmou, Christina Morfoulaki, Alkystis-Lara Papadaki, Vassiliea Stylianidou aka Franck-Lee Alli-Tis, Anna T., Ourania Tsiakalou, Myrto Tsilibounidi, Christina Foivi, Niovi Fotopoulou, Catherina Chatzidimitriou. This sound/video piece is the result of the workshop with the title Queer(s´) Talk(s)_Translating, transwriting, transreading gender and body, which took place in May 2019 within the context of the project Aphrodite*. In this workshop we investigated the relation between language and trans*, queer and gender-questioning bodies. Rather than trying to avoid moments of misinterpretation we intend to creatively employ the gaps of knowledge and comprehension as they constantly shift their boundaries including or excluding us.
