EXPOSING FEMINISTS’ CRITIQUE OF WHITE PRIVILEGE IN EUROPE FROM A SOUTH AFRICAN PERSPECTIVE

Congress presentation by Marina Gržinić

Marina Gržinić will intervene through a research project Conviviality as Potentiality: From Amnesia and Pandemic towards a Convivial Epistemology, funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF, AR 679), based at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna until 2025. Conviviality as potentiality is researched in connection to relevant predicaments in five territories: South Africa (SA), Australia, Austria, Israel, and Lebanon. This presentation will focus on decolonial research in South Africa to question European white feminist privilege.

Congress presentation is part of the Panel 51: Undoing Inequalities through Creative Practice and Art in/as Research: Feminist Lens on Reimagining Knowledge Construction.
