Robin Kahn (1961, based in New York City) was invited as a special guest because of her artivism and trajectory which continues to inspire emerging artists and women working in the arts.
She spoke about her Documenta 13 project where she invited women refugees from Western Sahara in order to raise social awareness of their impossible circumstances and at the same time to celebrate their strength and unique ability to organise themselves in complex social feministic structures, which allow them to survive.
Artist, curator and author. The talk will cover art practice and activism, specifically in relation to her work dealing with refugees from Saharaui desert at Documenta 13 in 2012, as well as her work for the exhibition "The Value of Food" in New York.
