Feminism has reached the mainstream: but it's often commodified, exclusionary, or sidetracked from the goal of liberation. Feminist writer and organiser Lola Olufemi explores how feminism can be reclaimed as an emancipatory tool for fighting state violence, reproductive injustice, transmisogyny, gendered racism, and much more – and achieve justice for everybody. We can start by imagining that a better world is possible… then building power to get there.#RSAWildernessBecome an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/ueembDonate to The RSA: https://utm.guru/udNNBFollow RSA Events on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rsa_events/Follow the RSA on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RSAEventsLike RSA Events on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rsaeventsoff...

Ksenia Zemtsova is the co-founder of Art Night, a hugely ambitious free contemporary art festival that takes place in dedicated parts of London over one summer weekend. Art Night is growing year by year, and recently completed its third and most ambitious festival—attracting some 70,000 visitors to 50 sites to experience 150 artists. It’s dedicated to widening audiences for contemporary art and offering them the opportunity to present bold new work outside the gallery walls. Ksenia and her small but ambitious team have bold plans for 2019 which, for now, are under wraps. “I studied Political Science, but I was always interested in cultural policies and how we can bridge the cultural sector of the arts with the public urban realm.” [5:15] The idea behind Art Night is to have the festival running as late as possible, so some of the projects will run as late as 6 a.m. One of the goals is to explore unusual venues, secret locations, and re purpose heritage sites and public spaces. However, Art Night isn’t just about visual art—Ksenia has made sure that different disciplines are all included. Performance, dance, music, video installations, and Virtual Reality exhibits are also extremely popular. “I think it’s really striking when you walk in the city and suddenly you see this house that seems like it has fallen from somewhere like the wizard of oz” [15:00] South Korean artist Do Ho Suh was commissioned to create a striking work of art—recreating his childhood home on top a pedestrian bridge spanning Wormwood Street, an instillation called Bridging Home, London. The house itself is stunning, a traditional Korean abode looking as if it could lean and topple over to the street at any moment. Of course this was commissioned to go along with the theme of this particular Art Night: Home. [22:30] The British Interplanetary Society was re purposed as well, for a full week, to house an instillation called Space Refugee. The building itself acts as a think tank for interplanetary scientists and it houses a menagerie of space faring relics and memorabilia. Going again with the theme of home, Space Refugee is about the first Syrian cosmonaut in space, and his subsequent joining of the resistance during the Syrian War. The project follows his idea that the only place that would host refugees at some point would be space. Again, Art Night seems to be growing by the year—but Ksenia wants to focus more on the quality of the art than funneling more people through it. At 70,000 participants that’s very understandable. The goal is to continue to experiment and explore these spaces in London, bringing on new artists such as Liv Wynter (a previous guest on the podcast) and having her host a spoken word marathon at the Garden Museum, drawing a crowd the museum had likely never seen before. It’s this spirit of discovery and juxtaposition that is sure to keep Art Night one of the most exciting events London has to offer for years to come.   Links Art Night London (http://2018.artnight.london/) @artnightldn (https://www.instagram.com/artnightldn/) Support this podcast

Liv Wynter is a queer artist, educator, activist and writer from South London. She uses an anarchic exploration of language, live performance, and text based practice to create unique forms of storytelling and to initiate discussions around class, sexuality and gender. Though her work is socially and politically demanding, it demonstrates a fluidity which allows her to move from art institutions to youth clubs, community centres and protests. “I’m not one of those romantic suffering artists, if I’m miserable I can’t make any work and if I try it’s awful.” [5:24] Liv was trying to find a way to take feminist artwork into non feminist spaces—which led her to spoken word poetry, with some of her work going viral. This made an artistic step for her into live performance. This was around the time she applied for her position as an artist in residence at the Tate. She worked engaging children and others in the art galleries at the Tate. This is really important, especially for youth who haven’t been allowed into artistic spaces. It was Liv’s job to try and make them comfortable and engaged in the gallery space. [11:00] Liv has found that people invite her to work with them due to her radical work, but when she shows up with that mindset it tends to put off these people or institutions. While she seemed to have her dream job, Liv read an article about Maria Balshaw—a Director at the Tate. A quote from Maria set Liv off when she spoke about sexual harassment. Balshaw’s comments didn’t sit well with Liv, and naturally, Liv voiced her concerns. It was Liv’s opinion that Balshaw should be a bit more sensitive to issues of race and gender—being the director. [18:38] After raising the issues and feeling unheard, distraught, and wondering what to do—Liv decided to resign on International Women’s day with a letter, hoping it would make an impact. And make an impact it did—you can find a full transcript of her letter here: cargocollective.com (https://cargocollective.com/livwynter/RESIGNATION-FROM-TATE) “I think people assume that if you make work about violence and trauma that you’re over it—and actually I’m not, I’m still in it and feeling it.” The letter put pressure on the Tate from both the inside and out. Her disruption has spurred dialogue and change in a much faster manner than Liv feels like she could have caused from working inside the Tate alone. She hopes that this helps the Tate become a more accessible space, not one that can come across as hostile or off putting for the youth that come there to be inspired. Liv’s more recent projects include House Fire, a story about a woman whose house burns down four times—and more importantly, how the community reacts. The performance has travelled around and has been shown in France as well (the initial event even drawing protests from far right nationalists). All to say, Liv shows no indication of slowing down or staying quiet. You can find her all over the internet making more performance art, and even being in punk rock bands.
