Abstract or Description

The following conversation took part online over the course of several weeks in 2018 in response to an invitation from Madeleine Hodge, Clare Qualmann, and Amy Sharrocks to contribute to their newspaper ‘Daylight,’ which was published by the Wellcome Collection, London, in 2018, as part of their artistic residency, ‘Daylighting,’ at the Collection. A further invitation from curators Alexandra Balona and Sofia Lemos to contribute a chapter to their edited book Metabolic Rifts Reader, Berlin/Lisbon: Atlas Projectos, published in 2019, prompted an expanded version of our exchange. Due to the word lengths of the two publications, some 50% of the original exchange was cut. Here we share the full exchange.

Contributors respond to the following posed by Helena Reckitt:
- Why do you think reading and research groups like these are needed right now?
- What has been important / meaningful to you about this particular group?
- Do any particular Feminist Duration Reading Group meetings stand out for you?
- What does the practice of embodied citation mean to you, in relation to activities of the FDRG and more broadly?
- How does your work or practice aim to transmit feminist knowledge and build feminist culture within a collective context?
- What aspects of feminist cultural history can current and younger generations of feminists learn from?
- What are some key differences that emerge between some of the historical forms of feminism explored in the FDRG and current manifestations of feminism?

The co-authors include regular participants in the FDRG, including those who initiated key events in the first three years of the group’s development, as well as occasional collaborators based outside London, in Glasgow (Laura Guy), Toronto (Gabby Moser), Sydney (Diana Baker Smith), and Beijing (Cinzia Cremona).
