Please note: The event will be held in German!
Sexuality is multilayered, contested and continues to be the subject of controversial social debate. As part of the feminist reading circle, we invite you to engage in creative, open and respectful discussion on the topic in all its complexity.
Inspired by exhibition themes ranging from #MeToo to Metaverse, from Kink to Body Awareness, we will explore various texts and discuss questions such as: How do traditional role models shape our ideas about sex? Who determines what is desirable? How will we love tomorrow?
The texts are provided free of charge, read together on site and translated into our own words (close reading). We follow our curiosity and are open to further ideas and suggestions. The dates can be booked individually, and you can join at any time. The event is open to all genders.
Klara Schneider is a member of the editorial team of the feminist magazine Wir Frauen and currently leads a feminist reading circle in Cologne on behalf of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation on the topic of Democracy: feminist and for everyone. Defending what does not yet exist?
