A public salon led by artist Alex Martinis Roe where the propositions for new feminist practices developed during workshops at The Showroom will be presented. These propositions will depart from the historical practices explored in the To Become Two film series, extended and adapted by the workshop contributors according to their needs and contexts.
The event will close with a chance to see the exhibition and enjoy a drink together.
