The two-day symposium Women under Surveillance counters neutral definitions of surveillance to establish a platform for artistic and interdisciplinary dialogue along the lines of women and surveillance in our digital age.
Wednesday / Thursday, 2 and 3 December 2015
Aula, Filzengraben 2, D-50676 Köln
Registration: sievers@khm.de
Programme: http://wus.khm.de/
Lectures, performances, installations and film screenings go deeper into the critical means of collecting data and monitoring processes in the name of security and the general interest of the “public”.
The symposium aims to move beyond the discussion whether excessive surveillance is a necessary and productive practice in an increasingly insecure world.
Rather, in taking the gendered history of surveillance strategies as its starting point—such as the regulation of women's productive autonomy and sexuality—the symposium engages artistically and critically with questions as: “who is being watched by whom, how, why and at what expense?”
