| Extra Info | : | Eleanor Bowen in conversation with Laura González. In this talk, artists Eleanor Bowen and Laura González will examine historical, clinical, and artistic material, both written and visual, to trace the figure of the contemporary hysteric as she rebels against the impossible demands placed upon her. Exploring five traits that commonly characterise the hysteric as an archetype – a specific body, mimetic abilities, an air of mystery, a propensity to disappear, and a distinctive relationship with the voice – the artists illuminate what it means to be hysterical, framing it as a form of rebellion and resistance. |
