In early 2010, a queer feminist work group formed within FelS. No retreat of queer and feminist approaches to niches, no uninspired lingering in academia, no professional perishing in gender mainstreaming. Instead, we are preparing ourselves for a vibrant, broad, anti-capitalist queer feminist movement.
Our experience shows us that gender relations tend to be considered as a transversal issue. However, in specific struggles they are too often neglected. This is why we see queer feminism as a political field with its own practices that we want to explore, rework and reinvent. So we are at our beginning, but we are not dealing with a tabula rasa.
This collage is an attempt to get to know queer feminism. We contacted queer and feminist collectives in different parts of the world in order to hear about their struggles and political practices, and to establish a network between them and us. We sent a questionnaire to collectives in Istanbul, St. Petersburg, Jakarta, Belgrade, Paris and Berlin. You can read the full answers here. There is also a short and a long version in German.
