Summary/Abstract: A panel organized by the Pauza Foundation for the Development and Promotion of Contemporary Art and the editors of Didaskalia, featuring Joanna Krakowska, Dorota Sajewska, Małgorzata Sugiera, and Weronika Szczawińska. The conversation concerned critical strategies adopted by women in the theater, their “visibility” and function in the public space, the formation of a Polish feminist theater, and attempts to write a history of a “women’s theater.” The moderator of the meeting, Małgorzata Sugiera, summed up by saying that one could not “speak and write [of a women’s theater] as one would a phenomenon without a context, [...] it ought to be seen in the wider networks of social conditions and the pervasive art conventions at a given time.”
