The program of the
Meetings on Art
Tuesday October 4th, Teatro Piccolo Arsenale, 5:30 pm > 7:30 pm
THE QUEER AND THE EERIE
Perhaps to question the human-male-centric view of the world and to imagine a more livable future requires an examination of liminal concepts such as the queer and the eerie. This conversation will discuss life and death matterings, the category of thingness, animacy and animation of the non-human, and dehumanization and death of the human through the politics of queerness and the eerie, race, sexuality, and gender.
Speakers Mel Y. Chen, Associate Professor of Gender & Women’s Studies at U.C. Berkeley and Director of the Center for the Study of Sexual Culture; P. Staff, Precious Okoyomon, Sidsel Meineche Hansen and Diego Marcon, participating artists at the Biennale Arte 2022.
Conversation moderated by Mel Y. Chen.

Audience Q&A.
Thursday October 6th, Teatro Piccolo Arsenale, 5:00 pm > 7:00 pm
“RE-ENCHANTING THE WORLD”
For feminist theorist and activist Silvia Federici, the “re-enchantment of the world” means “to reconnect what capitalism has divided: our relation with nature, with others, and with our bodies” (Silvia Federici, Re-Enchanting the World: Feminism and the Politics of the Commons, Oakland, CA: PM Press, 2018). This panel will explore inspirations for a re-enchantment of the world: examining our interdependencies with, and forms of affection for, nature, the Earth, and animals; communal relations; rituals and myths; craft; and folklore.
Zoom Keynote Silvia Federici, feminist activist, writer and teacher.
Speakers Julia Bryan-Wilson, Professor of Contemporary Art and LGBTQ+ Studies at Columbia University; Magdalene Odundo and Liv Bugge, participating artists at the Biennale Arte 2022.
Conversation moderated by Julia Bryan-Wilson.
