[oldboys] call for participation

[Cornelia Sollfrank <cornelia@snafu.de>]

Women artists and writers are invited to participate in an online event
addressing issues of gender, racial and economic biases resulting in
systemic violence against women and minorities.

This project arises from the unseemly juxtaposition of a "war on terror"
with the every day realities faced by women living in cultures that
enforce female circumcision, do not give equal value for to equal work
based on cultural bias, tacitly accept violent domestic situations, use
sexual intimidation as a military tactic and fear of reprisal as a
cultural control.

The name, gender[f], designates a programmatic function.  The function �
gender � holds an unlimited, presently undefined array  � [f] � the issues
and/or representations of women in society.

This call is addressed to women of different geographical, disciplinary
and theoretical backgrounds, who are invited to make a statement on the
subject by creating an  object of art, creative writing or critical essay
or to submit already existing projects related to the subject. (urls are
acceptable, space for net-projects is available.)

Submission deadline is September 10, 2004. Work should be in digital
format, web-ready preferred, but not necessary.  An accompanying event in
Detroit is in the planning stages.

gender[f] is dedicated to the the over 400 murdered and disappeared women
of Juarez who worked in the maquiladoras of Juarez.
