Julia Lübbecke and Kat Teichmann will engage in a talk about their collaborative work at the queer*feminist library and archive LIESELLE at Ruhr University Bochum, which led to the publication Aktivist*innen im Archiv: Von den Anfängen der Frauenforschung bis zu queeren Interventionen (Activists in the Archive: From the Beginnings of Women’s Studies to Queer Interventions). For over 45 years, LIESELLE has been collecting materials such as books, flyers, correspondence, stickers, posters, and other objects that document the women’s movement in Germany. 

Julia Lübbecke studied photography and media art at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, at UMPRUM – Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, and at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig. She is the recipient of the 2019 IKOB Art Prize for Feminist Art and was the Dorothea Schlegel Artist in Residence at Freie Universität Berlin in 2022. She has exhibited at venues including the Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos in Santiago, Chile; the Busan International Photography Festival; Kunsthaus Essen; Künstler:innenhaus Bremen; Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien in Berlin; and the IKOB – Museum of Contemporary Art in Eupen (BE), and has been part of the collective otc – observant thick conversation since 2019.
Kat Teichmann studied Gender Studies, German Language and Literature, and Philosophy, and has been involved with the queer*feminist Archive LIESELLE at Ruhr University Bochum since 2014. There and in other movement archives, she has carried out several projects as part of the Digital German Women’s Archive (DDF) and works, among others, on lesbian-feminist and queer cultures of memory as well as archiving practices critical of power structures.
