DONNA HARAWAY: STORY TELLING FOR EARTHLY SURVIVAL by Fabrizio Terranova
Doors: 7:30pm
Screening begins: 9pm
Please note: this is an outdoor screening so please dress appropriately for a Spring evening and bring extra layers or blankets. There is a wet weather contingency and we will move inside in the event of rain.
Donna Haraway is a prominent scholar in the field of science and technology, a feminist, and a science-fiction enthusiast who works at building a bridge between science and fiction. She became known in the 1980s through her work on gender, identity, and technology, which broke with the prevailing trends and opened the door to a frank and cheerful trans species feminism. Haraway is a gifted storyteller who paints a rebellious and hopeful universe teeming with critters and trans-species, in an era of disasters.
Brussels filmmaker Fabrizio Terranova visited Donna Haraway at her home in California, living with her – almost literally, for a few weeks, and there produced a quirky film portrait. Terranova allowed Haraway to speak in her own environment, using attractive staging that emphasised the playful, cerebral sensitivity of the scientist. The result is a rare, candid, intellectual portrait of a highly original thinker.
“A heroine to a generation of women who are starting to call themselves cyberfeminists”
