The YES! Association welcomes you to an open meeting and presentation of its work, history and future.

The YES! Association was founded in 2005 through the participation in the exhibition “Art Feminism – strategies and effects in Sweden from the 1970’s until today”. For this occasion the association put together a legally binding contract (Equality Agreement) stating a promise of equality through allocation of quotas within the institutions. In the “Press Conference /Performance” the YES! Association offered the institutions to enter the agreement.

Since then the association has exhibited, done actions, lectured, written texts and debated. In September 2008 “Privilege Walk/Symposium – Feminist and intersectional aspects of contemporary art” was organised at Lilith Performance Studio. The association is currently collaborating with artist Kajsa Dahlberg and the artist run space Transmission in Glasgow.

The evening at Signal begins with the screening of a 40 minutes video documentation from the “Press Conference/Performance” at Dunkers Kulturhus, Helsingborg (2005) and then artist Kajsa Dahlberg will present the collaborative project “The Name Of This Association Shall Be Transmission”.

The presentations will be held in Swedish, the video documentation has English subtitles. For more info: http://www.foreningenja.org/
