Feminist and Queer Perspectives on Food. 2nd Vienna Workshop on STEM Collections, Gender and Sexuality

2nd Vienna Workshop on STEM Collections, Gender and Sexuality

In recent years, museum exhibitions have increasingly dealt with the history and future of food. Food and Gender are the focus of the 2nd Vienna Workshop on STEM Collections, Gender and Sexuality. The workshop will critically address constructions of gendered technology and emphasise the role of material culture in queer and feminist approaches to science with a focus on food.

Which challenges and potentials arise from gender-informed engagement with food and nutrition? How can museums understand, collect and exhibit food as a multifaceted gendered phenomenon? What does the material culture of food look like?
