Carmen Winant's practice uses photographic tools to centre feminist struggle, discourse and movement building, aiming to visualise the people who carry out the political — and often every quotidian — labour of care and organising on the ground.
In this experimental lecture, Winant will focus on intergenerational feminist inheritance as both subject and strategy across her projects. Drawing from her own practice and its varied points of reference, she asks: What happens to a movement as it passes between generations? How do priorities accumulate and shift? In what ways do past failures become visible in that process? And what might these inheritances teach us about the possibilities of our present struggles for liberation?
