The exhibition "We need more than one term for these big things"
presents artworks that show tendencies of an already emancipated feminism. This is an exploration of a kind of speculative
feminism not derived from a place of lack but rather from the assertion of already emancipated positions standing in equitable
communication with other disciplines. This starting point also includes the question as to the representative functions bestowed
on the word feminism, and, knowing of the historicity of the discourse, how it can be possible to posit a distinct feminism
as an approach within a subjectively informed ethics of adequate behavior. This means not merely negotiating contexts in the
light of their preconditions and in symbolic terms, but also including already existing arrangements within different systems
and institutions in conceptual and formal decisions concerning the production of different formats, and editing these accordingly.
