Zörömbölő – creative workshop for women
March-June 2018
Közkincs Library, Budapest
The workshop was open to women without any previous art training. During these sessions, we explored feminist representations of women in art and got to know several of the women artists from the international scene who reflected on the second feminist wave. We interpreted the issues raised in the works of Martha Rosler, Barbara Kruger, Valie Export, Louise Bourgeois and took them as a starting point, creating our own creative reflections together, using freely chosen means.

About the film:
Triage is the medical practice of ranking patients according to their illness and deciding the order in which they should be treated according to the severity of their condition. In other words, diseases are ranked in relation to each other. The practice aims to minimise the possibility of irreversible processes leading to death and to give patients a better chance of survival.
Society can be healthy if women have the same opportunities and chances as men.
The film is a film sequel consisting of three short films based on three texts written by men. These texts have been rewritten to varying degrees and placed in a new context in order to give them new meaning for women’s situation. Thus, social hierarchy and the subordinate role of women in it, self-colonisation and the production of desire became our themes.
In doing so, we have also put powerful male writers in a position to care about women’s situation, setting an example for other powerful male writers who are oblivious to the problems of gender inequality.
The titles of the three parts of the film and the sources of the appropriated and adapted texts are:
In the Pyramyd – MIKLÓS ERDÉLY – IN THE PYRAMYD
Global Deficit – ALEXANDER KIOSSEV: – NOTES ON SELF-COLONIZING CULTURE
Anatomy of Desire – GILLES DELEUZE – FELIX GUATTARI: WHAT IS PHILOSOPHY?
