Rosa & Louise – A Feminist Manifesto in Dialogues

The examination of the structures of feminist discourse forms the basis of the manifesto that is continuously rewritten by Ariane Koch and Sarina Scheidegger. The multilingual performance was shown in different stages and contexts as a performance – spoken by two performers – and as a poster edition. How can and does feminism be articulated in different cultures? How can we relate to it? Who is speaking? Who is allowed to speak? How are stereotypes and clichés reproduced and negotiated? Where are the intersections in discourse that differs depending on the national, geographic, historical, cultural, or social context in which we live – but is also similar in many ways? Where can we use the feminist perspective to establish general societal questions? How can feminism be a tool to broaden and renew history [for all of us]?

Poster design by Kambiz Shafei and screen printing by Silas Heizmann.
Performers: Anna Christen Bloom (she) & Marzella Ruegge (she).

The performance is part of the series of events organized by SPRINT in collaboration with Istituto Svizzero and will take place on the occasion of the opening of the exhibition The Most Beautiful Swiss Books at Spazio Maiocchi, to coincide with the beginning of SPRINT-Independent Publishers and Artists’ Books Salon.

Biography:

Since 2012, Ariane Koch and Sarina Scheidegger have been working together in the field of performance. They write collaboratively on scripts and scores that are then interpreted by performers. The performances are shown in various places and often being interfered with printed matters into the public space. They refuse to document their work with visualizations because their main interest lies in the ephemeral moment of the performance itself. Their work was shown among others at Fotomuseum Winterthur (Winterthur), Aargauer Kunsthaus (Aarau), Kunstraum Niederösterreich (Wien), Theater Is A Must (Alexandria), Swiss Art Awards (Basel), Kunsthalle Basel (Basel), Kaserne Basel (Basel), Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin), IPA Performancefestival (Istanbul).
