Workshop
LET’S WALK TOGETHER?
WITH Mallika Taneja (INDIA)
What does to walk mean? What does it mean to walk together? In a world where we keep talking about global feminism (as if it were an entity), how is my feminism different from yours? Being present in a public space implies consent of a certain type: to be looked at, to be harassed or hassled? Does consent also work passively? What role does the look of the other play in our lives? Does it set us free? Does it trap us? Indian artist Mallika Taneja proposes a space for sharing thoughts on the city being allowed to women – whether New Delhi or São Paulo – and testimonies on the risks and vulnerability of being a woman and being on the street, especially at night. The workshop will be a period of coexistence, dialogue and bonds of trust development between the participants in order to produce a performative act of collective care: a night march through the streets of São Paulo, scheduled for March 7, in which women escort other women and protect themselves.
