At the end of the workshop »What is between your legs?« stands an image-forum performance which is open to audience. It will deal with questions like:

What is sexism? Where and how do we feel it? Should we avoid it, ignore it, live with it hands to hands or resist it? Do we even recognize it in our everyday life? Is sexism becoming an internalized oppression as part of the neoliberal system? Why should we fight against it every day?
We are witnessing the abolition of fundamental economic, political and social rights, which again push women into the private sphere and their oppressed position. In many European countries, the right to abortion is exacerbated, women are still paid less than men and more often work in precarian conditions of work. If we allow sexism in the public sphere, we must be aware that it is even more so in the private sphere, at home and in partnership.
