X-front crew in Utrecht

Part of the X-front crew is gathered in Utrecht for the 7th Feminist European Research Conference during the first days of June.

The overall theme for the conference is 'Gendered Cultures at the Crossroads of Imagination, Knowledge and Politics'. The organisers are yet and again emphasising that at the Gender Studies Department at Utrecht University they have a special interest in the combination of art and knowledge production in the sense that art is a way of imagining new futures which have political implications. Or, as they put it in the conference programme: "Through the combination of art and scholarship, new questions and new styles of knowledge production could arise."

This is the context where X-front has an installation/workshop in the art room and also has a panel in the scientific programme (yes, the organisers make that distinction although they emphasise a combination of the two).
