地點：台北當代藝術中心 TCAC （台北市大同區保安街49巷11號1樓，近捷運大橋頭站）
TCAC 2019 帶狀展覽《女頭目的未來學》最後一系列公眾參與活動，女性主義讀本讀書會從數位女性主義學者╱倡議者的文章出發，進行不同形式的閱讀與互動。本系列讀書會邀請策展人李彥儀共同策劃，試圖從策展論述中涉及的馬克思女性主義與生態女性主義，轉至注重技術與系統改革的賽克諾女性主義，以及後者對於前二者的批評與改革企圖。希望在這個過程中，重新發掘生產與產生連結的方式，以個體感官的綜合聯覺進入與撕裂各種標籤。

⤞女頭目的未來學⤝
TCAC推出2019全新帶狀節目《女頭目的未來學》，以系列展覽與公眾參與活動帶領觀眾想像：母系的生產將如何領導與批判科技與資本主義治理的社會。我們希望在超越邊界的前提下討論唐納‧哈洛威談的女性「類同」。以此為背景，《女頭目的未來學》重新檢視第四波女性主義中科技對女性賦權的樂觀，以及馬克思女性主義與生態女性主義的方法學。
參展藝術家多在網路時代成長，其中有些擁有身為離散族群的生命軌跡，他們享受60-70年代的女性主義運動成果，但仍弔詭地在生命歷程中面對不同程度的性別暴力。跨文化的背景使他們將性別權力的討論延伸到不同的空間，包括情動、個人歷史、去殖民、環境生態。參展藝術家以個人敘事回應本展的潛在台詞: 「如果不成為母親，女性藝術家如何面對女性認同相關的藝術生產？」母系回應父權暴力的方式，絕不是生理、同質、抽象、排除他者的。我們希望女頭目透過各種「跨」，來化身為溝通者與預言者，連結男子、女人、酷兒、移民、非人類。或者說，女頭目的預言，是一個包容跨物種的未來生態系統。
《女頭目的未來學》由徐詩雨與李雨潔共同策劃。
《女頭目的未來學》獲國家文化藝術基金會與台北市文化局支持。

Feminism Reading Group

Venue: Taipei Contemporary Art Center (1F, No.11, Lane 49, Baoan Street, Datong District, 10346 Taipei)
As part of the public workshop of Female Avatars’ Futurist Statement, the Feminism Reading Group will study several articles and essays from feminist scholars and activists. Guest curator Yen-yi Lee will begin by exploring the Marxist feminism and ecofeminism mentioned in the curatorial statement, then continue to Xenofeminism’s focus on systematic and technical reform and its critiques and revisions to the aforementioned feminism. Different reading and interactive approaches will be employed in the session to re-discover ways of producing and connecting. In doing so, we hope labels can be remade, even torn down.

About Female Avatars’ Futurist Statement:
In 2019 TCAC is launching a new program called Female Avatars’ Futurist Statement. Through this series of exhibitions and public workshops, we hope to unite leaders and art workers who share a vision of matrilineal production. Reflecting on the dominance of information technology and capitalism, which hinder genuine equality and diversity in our society, we look for new directions for feminist “affinities” across borders. Female Avatars’ Futurist Statement cautiously examines the techno-optimism embedded in the fourth-wave feminist movement, and perspectives inspired by Marxist Feminism and Ecofeminism.

Participating artists grew up in the information age, and many of them experienced diaspora. They enjoyed the achievement of feminist movements in the 1960s and 1970s, which, however, do not guarantee a world without gender violence. Their cross-cultural backgrounds enable them to extend the discussion about gender power to various aspects regarding affect, personal histories, decoloniality, and ecosystem. Their individual narratives respond to the underlying note of the exhibition: “How does a [woman] artist cope with [her] practice without being a mother?” Art of the so-called “maternal lineage” does not refer to sex- and gender-specific products, nor is it homogenous, exclusive, or instrumentalized. The future avatars have to be communicators and prophets who can form an alliance with men, women, queer people, immigrants, and non-humans. Thus, this futurist statement delineates an ecosystem that accommodates all species.
Female Avatars’ Futurist Statement is curated by Shih-yu Hsu and Yu-Chieh Li.
Female Avatars’ Futurist Statement is supported by the National Culture and Arts Foundation and The Department of Cultural Affairs, Taipei City Government.
