The Genesis of Cyberculture. A Cyberfeminist View: Seminar by Irina Aktuganova and Alla Mitrofanova
World Gone By Computer Class
The Genesis of Cyberculture. A Cyberfeminist View: Seminar by Irina Aktuganova and Alla Mitrofanova
The founders of Cyber-Femin-Club suggest discussing the role of a feminist approach to cyberculture and its topicality for contemporary culture, and also the reasons behind the appearance of a third wave of cyberfeminism.
Seminar participants will immerse themselves in the local and international specifics of the formation of cyberculture in the 1990s. The practical part of the seminar will attempt to define how feminist optics influence the aesthetics of cyberfeminism and its social significance.
How to take part
The number of places is limited. Advance registration is required.
Cyber-Femin-Club was the first St. Petersburg feminist cultural organization. It was founded by Irina Aktuganova and Alla Mitrofanova in 1994 as part of Gallery 21. Cyber-Femin-Club’s activities included the first international feminist conferences and round tables, thematic exhibitions, performances and concerts, media projects, and educational initiatives. The club operated at the intersection of artistic and social practices and was one of the first to begin working on participatory projects and with various communities.
This event will take place as part of the public program of the World Gone By computer class.
