Mayra Jenzer studied art history and German literature and is concerned with queer theories and gender topics, which Mayra transfers to the sphere of art and culture. In a conversation with artist and art educator Catherin Schöberl, they talk about the art world, its patriarchal imprints, and feminist concerns. The podcast links the theoretical points of view with concrete locations in Basel and invites the listener to take an audio walk through the city.

Episode 2: Collective, Art and Feminism

Guests: Hannah Kindler and Nika Timashkova of somebody*ies collective.

In today’s episode we talk about collectives and resistant strategies in artistic production. We discuss why the genius myth still seems to be haunting many minds and why patriarchal thought patterns and hegemonic power structures are reproduced through it. Nika Timashkova and Hannah Kindler from the collective somebody*ies shared their views and experiences with us and talked about the challenges of working in a collective.

The podcast is connected to different stops in Basel: In our minds we pass by Erasmushaus, the Kunstmuseum Basel and end at Hirscheneck in Kleinbasel.
