Women of the Seven Seas: Lecture Performance, 2022
Maritime patriarchy is no joke. It is a history of war, colonialism and exploitation of people and natural resources. Is there - finally - a feminist movement about to appear at sea to unite against all that? The answer is: not yet. But maybe soon.
In order to celebrate women working on, at and with the seas, secret agency founded the Women of the Seven Seas in 2020, asking: Is there a feminism of the seas?
In this lecture performance, secret agency will not only give a report of the current activities and experiences of the Women of the Seven Seas. Using live animation they will take you on a trip to the future: a time when sea levels will rise, and transgender hippies on rafts of trash will unite with the female seafarers‘ association of Nigeria to come to the rescue.
