Description of project
This publication is produced and edited by Eva Weinmayr and Rosalie Schweiker following their residency at Marabouparken Konsthall, Stockholm in 2018. The making of this publication can be understood as a method to capture the spirit and experiences of the boxing training classes during AND’s Guestroom Residency, which asked “How can boxing, which is so focused on individual fighting against another individual, survival of the fittest and fastest, be used as a feminist, and/or creative tool?” (Ar Parmacek)
The visuals and collages have been produced with the boxers, who came to the boxing classes in a one-day workshop at Marabouparken Konsthall as a way to communicate through visuals rather than words.
