This event, titled 'Felix & Sofie: Verhalen voor een andere wereld', delves into women's narratives in history and fiction, exploring feminist fantasy and historical perspectives. Philosophers and a poet will discuss how these stories contribute to emancipation and understanding the world, with opportunities for audience engagement.
The event 'Felix & Sofie: Verhalen voor een andere wereld' focuses on the historical underrepresentation of women and the growing contemporary attention to their roles and capabilities across philosophy, literature, and popular culture. On Friday, October 27, the Bijbels Museum, in collaboration with Filosofisch Café Felix & Sofie, will host an evening at OBA Oosterdok dedicated to examining these narratives. The discussion will explore whether historical and fictional women's stories not only represent other individuals but also offer alternative worldviews. It questions the extent to which these narratives advance emancipation and what can be learned from the perspectives of women who have been historically omitted. The program features three speakers: fantasy and science-fiction writer Ursula K. Le Guin's work will be analyzed by philosopher Roos Slegers, highlighting her contribution to understanding pain, power, and inequality. Philosopher Eveline Groot will examine the allegorical city in the works of Augustine and Christine de Pizan to explore societal coexistence and differing views on the roles of men and women. Poet Maartje Smits will present poems from her collection 'Als je een meisje bent' that resonate with or question these themes. The evening will include lectures, audience discussion, and moderation by Sophie van Balen and Alrun Bernhard. This event is held in conjunction with the Bijbels Museum's photography exhibition 'Eva, Sara en Hanna: Vrouwen van de wereld', showcasing Biblical women.
Tickets cost €10, or €5 for OBA pass holders. The event takes place on Friday, October 27, from 20:00 to 21:30, with doors opening at 19:30. The exhibition 'Eva, Sara en Hanna: Vrouwen van de wereld' can be visited for free before the program.
