EMILIA-AMALIA

<p>EMILIA-AMALIA is a Toronto-based feminist exploratory working group. Initiated in 2016, the group meets regularly to examine and employ practices of citation, annotation, questioning, interviewing and autobiography as essential feminist strategies that activate feminist art, writing and research practices. Each session is organized around a ‘text,’ a conversation, and a writing activity, but beyond that the meetings have taken many different forms. All meetings are open to the public and participants have varied widely.</p> <p>One particular interest has been to elucidate the histories and strategies of feminism that have been obscured and overlooked. EMILIA-AMALIA asks how we might update and rewrite past practices so they can better respond to contemporary questions. Our aim has been to think through these questions from the differences and disparities between members and in a spirit of collaboration. For this reason, EMILIA-AMALIA is an open group that invites all levels of engagement.</p> <p>This series of five chapbooks is a partial record of the conversations, texts, images and output the meetings have generated and engaged with.</p>
