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.
