T.W.B.T.C

To Whom Belongs The City | A Chi Appartiene La Città | Wem gehört die Stadt.

The 30 minutes video T.W.B.T.C (To whom belongs the city) condenses twenty-five recorded encounters with women of different ages in seven European cities (over a four years periode 2006–2010). The conversations expose the cultural and social background of the protagonists’s own praxis and daily routine. The interview partners chose a meeting point in their respective city, description of place and meaning gave the opening for the recordings.

The video develops a discursive contribution, which highlights the sights of the female interviewed on the global city and society, hence a living environment related to all its possibilities and restrictions. These personal statements outline a multifaceted view of the cities.

Where does the postulates of the emancipatory movement in the 21st century stand? Is being a Feminist still an imperative? Or are there demands of a different challenge of solidarity, that can outreach social- and cultural borders, when the plain image of civil society are under pressure and steadily scrutinized?
