Gender Talents: A Special Address
Tate Modern, London
Feb 2, 2013
Gender Talents: A Special Address, convened by Carlos Motta with Electra and Tate Modern at TATE's The Tanks, presented an international group of thinkers, activists, and artists in a symposium that used the proposition or manifesto as a structuring device and starting point for discussion. These ‘special addresses’ explored models and strategies that transform the ways in which society perversely defines and regulates bodies. The event asked what is at stake when collapsing, inverting or abandoning the gender binary. Here the relation between self-determination and solidarity in processes of systemic change form the foundation of a pragmatic exploration of ways of being ungoverned by normative gender.
Commissioned by Electra and Tate Modern and presented in the context of Charming for the Revolution: A Congress for Gender Talents and Wildness
