    Online conference by Ilse Ghekiere

    #Wetoo : What Dancers Talk About When They Talk About Sexism – A Reflection

    In 2017, Ilse Ghekiere began collecting testimonies given by dancers concerning the many layered mechanisms of sexism within their profession. This research led to the beginning of Engagement Arts, anartist-led movement tackling sexism, sexual harassment, and abuse of power in the Belgian arts field. 

    How do we know our limits when faced with a professional reality that celebrates unclear boundaries? In her lecture, Ilse Ghekiere will make a risk analysis of the performing arts field. She will reflect on the position of 'artist as activist' and share strategies for structural change and collective empowerment.

    This is the second intervention in the "State of the World" lecture series, which aims to offer students and apprentices of The Manufacture another opening on the issues of the contemporary world. 

    Given the current coronavirus regulations, this conference will be held at a distance, allowing a wider community to share these issues with us.
