Margarita Tsomou
Performing planetary feminisms

Prof. Dr. Margarita Tsomou is a Greek cultural scientist and works from Berlin as an author, dramaturge, presenter and curator. She is a curator for theory and discourse at HAU – Hebbel am Ufer in Berlin, is part of the founding and editorial team of the pop-feminist magazine 'Missy Magazine' and is a professor of Contemporary Theater Practice at the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences. Examples of her curatorial work are the series Burning Futures: On Ecologies of Existence, the conference Feminisms reclaiming Life: an Internationalist Gathering at the HAU-Hebbel am Ufer or the Apatride Society's series of events in Paul B. Preciado's discursive program at Documenta 14. In this lecture, Margarita Tsomou re-examines ecofeminist positions for a ‘planetary feminism’ and herewith develops implications for the conception of the physical and performative.
