A seminar and workshop for Visual Arts and Curatorial Studies masters students working with Fulvia Carnevale at Nuova Accademia di Belle arti (NABA) in Rome, partially live-streamed to Milan, with a public talk at NABA's Rome campus.

The programme explored the roles of speaking, listening, and narration within feminist collective practices. Together with collaborators Giulia Damiani and Gabrielle Moser, Helena Reckitt discussed her trajectory in relation to feminism, group work, curatorial practice, archives, performance, and pedagogy, including: working with sound and orality, her encounters with earlier feminisms, and re-enactment and intergenerational exchange across different geographies.

The seminar leaders introduced their curatorial research project ‘Transmitting Feminisms' which explores the collaborative and pedagogical activities of 1970s feminist movements and its implications for contemporary artistic, curatorial and pedagogical practice. 'Transmitting Feminisms' aims to encompass oral history writing, public listening and reading, and artist commissions.
