The exhibition */The Camille Diaries. New Artistic Positions on
M/Otherhood, Life and Care/* presents current artistic works by eleven
international women and non-binary artists. Reflecting on the current
conditions of our world (environmental changes, gender aspects,
biopolitics, etc.), the artists' positions propose an 'aesthetics of
care' as the basis for inter-species coexistence. The artistic positions
investigate reproductive mechanisms, biochemical connections between
humans and nonhumans, critically reflect on female reproductive organs
and refer to alternative biomaterials as "source of life" in future
times of scarcity and crisis.
The exhibition title "The Camille Diaries" alludes to "The Camille
Stories", the final chapter of "Staying with the Trouble" (2016) by
philosopher and biologist Donna Haraway, where a dwindling human
population replaces births with care between species. In the exhibition
artists explore genetic and biochemical exchange between human and
non-human, as both part of and remedy for the Anthropocene.
The one-day symposium on 23 May 2020 will bring the artists together
with researchers from the humanities and natural sciences into a
critical dialogue. On the basis of the exhibited works, concepts of
"Collective survival" and "Arts of noticing" (A. Tsing) as well as
"Staying with the Trouble" (D. Haraway) will be discussed in an
interdisciplinary manner.

Talkshow Series | Curated & hosted by Isabel de Sena
May 23: Mary Maggic | 29 May: Christopher Coenen | 5 June: Alison
Sperling | 20 June: Noemi Yoko Molitor
This event series pays tribute to the powerful alternative images of
mothering we've inherited through the pioneering work of feminist Sci-Fi
writers, and examines their sustained relevance within the
socio-political landscape of today. Through a live Talk-Show format,
artists, scientists and scholars are invited to programme their "ideal
TV and reading evening" on the topic, so that the audience (re)discovers
the works through the guest's eyes.
