Feminist struggles: an eternal restart?
Les Procès du siècle - Shared struggles
With Myriam Bahaffou (philosophy researcher and activist) and Françoise Picq (historian, sociologist, activist)
Moderator: Nora Hamadi
With the participation of Amélie Lavin, chief curator of heritage, head of the Bodies, Appearances, Sexualities section at Mucem.
Are we really experiencing a fourth feminist wave? Or are these struggles a slow continuum? Feminist struggles are becoming richer, more united and more complex, as they converge with ecological, social and anti-racist struggles. Françoise Picq, a historian and activist who participated in the Women’s Liberation Movement from its very beginnings, and Myriam Bahaffou, an ecofeminist researcher and activist, will discuss and shed light on these questions.
