STUDIO i Intersectionality Info Café
On Monday 2 September, STUDIO i is organising a knowledge café on intersectionality, with contributions from Sarita Bajnath, Stefanie van Gemert, Mounir Samuel, Roos Wattel and Tirsa With in the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
Intersectionality
Whereas diversity is often all about ticking boxes, intersectionality concerns the complex interplay of the different intersections that we all have in us. Besides gender, our cultural background, class, physical disability and sexual orientation can form a collection of intersections. However, some of these intersections are subject to more repression or exclusion than others. Can raising awareness of the notion of intersectionality help make the museum a more accessible, safer and more recognisable place for more people?
Several experts in this area shared their practical knowledge and experience with you during this afternoon, giving us the opportunity of investigating the theory of intersectionality together and transposing it into the cultural field.
Practical Information
In four speed dating workshop rounds, Sarita Bajnath, Stefanie van Gemert, Mounir Samuel and Roos Wattel share their experiences with intersectionality, and poet Tirsa With rounds off the afternoon with a spoken word. The knowledge café is moderated by Maren Siebert, Head of Education at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
