Donna Haraway (US) on the audiovisual and storytelling aspects of her work

Organisation: Beursschouwburg, ERG, BOZAR
BIO**
◊ Donna Haraway (USA, 1944) 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. As a tribute to her work and a celebration of her thought, ULB, ERG, Beursschouwburg and BOZAR join forces and organize a few meetings with Donna Haraway, on the initiative of filmmaker Fabrizio Terranova.

◊ Fabrizio Terranova lives and works in Brussels. He is a filmmaker, activist, director and teacher at the Ecole de Recherche Graphique (ERG) in Brussels, where he is one of the designers and coordinators of the Masters Programme in Récits et expérimentation/Narration spéculative. He has reworked his experimental documentary, Josée Andrei, An Insane Portrait into a book published by Souffle Editions. Terranova is one of the founders of DingDingDong, an organization that collects and disseminates information about Huntington's disease. His essay ‘Les Enfants du compost’, was recently published in the compilation, Gestes spéculatifs (Les Presses du réel, 2015).
