Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Feminism, and Translation

@annabmueller @theserendipist

We invite you to a conversation with conceptual artist and sculptor Anna Maja Spiess about the American author Charlotte Perkins Gilman and her utopian novel Moving the Mountain (1911).

Charlotte Perkins Gilman, one of the most influential feminist thinkers of the earliest 20th century, Imagines a radical new world where women and men live as equals, where ecological and Social reforms have been realized.

Anna Maja Spiess has translated the novel into German for the first time as an extension of her artistic practice. The sculptor as a translator, the book as a sculpture. She will share insights into the translation process and talk about what we can learn from Gilman's vision for today's feminist debates?
