What are the principles of an artistic organization that is attentive not only to the outside but also to the inside and what are the rules that apply to it? An organization which, in addition to creating its program, devotes similar care to the processes and people who create it; does it value creative and productive work as much as reproductive and maintenance work? What is a slow, caring and feminist art institution? And is it possible to apply these ideals in the current setting of artistic production and under limited financial conditions?

The event was dedicated to institutional and curatorial practices reflecting artistic operations and art institutions from a feminist perspective based on principles such as mutual care, interdependence, horizontality and the success of all participants. These feminist practices emphasize and prioritize ethical standpoints still unusual for the art world, while reevaluating the basic principles of the art world, its functioning and ways of working. The lectures and presentations addressed the above-mentioned terms and concepts together with examples of current practice.
