Cost: CHF 12/18, no registration required, in German Talk with the writer Lana Lux and Agota Lavoyer, expert on sexualised violence, in cooperation with Literaturhaus Basel The writer Lana Lux and non-fiction author Agota Lavoyer talk about their books with curator Dr Sandra Beate Reimann at Museum Tinguely. In their works, the authors have analysed mechanisms and patterns of sexualised violence and contributed to the fact that the topic has now become part of public discourse in German-speaking countries. With the letters of the Cartas de Mujeres project, writing about violence is also at the centre of Suzanne Lacy's video installation on display in the museum. We take this as an opportunity to discuss the role of language and writing in dealing with gender-specific violence.
