presentation of the project results

When the history of feminism is described using the "waves" paradigm, the local specificity of the US-American feminist movement is perceived as universal. However, the histories of feminism in other parts of the world might not fit into the "waves'" logic. For instance, unique features are characteristic of the feminist movements on the post-Soviet space.

How do we write the histories of feminism otherwise, being sensitive to the local specificity? How are the genealogies of feminism constituted in Germany and the former Soviet Union? How to include into their analysis the awareness of the simultaneous existence of multiple discriminations, inherent in today's feminism?

We offer to explore these topics to feminist artists, researchers and activists from the countries of the former USSR. The project supported several projects in Russia and the countries of the Eastern Partnership (the selection process took place in March), as well as the creation of a joint online and printed zine feminist translocalities.
