LASUEMO is an informal meeting place on the LAst SUnday Every MOnth in the digital courtyard of the project blog set up following «Womanifesto 2020: Gatherings». Bridging distance to connect specially with many still in enforced isolation, the first gathering took place on Sunday 30 May 2021 and we have continued to meet ever since.
Every session starts by each participant, who come from different places from around the globe, telling about the weather in their location. It is an exchange of information about the overall reality of the day – of the place, the weather, the environment, the political horrors…. A core group of participants from previous Womanifesto projects are invited to each meeting and they are joined by new people with no previous direct connection, who become part of the ever-growing circle of different generations. Since 1997, the artist-organisers of Womanifesto have been instrumental in conceptualising projects that stretch beyond the traditional model of biennial exhibition-making to produce intergenerational and cross-disciplinary collaborations, workshops and networks.
LASUEMO is primarily intended as a decentralised space in the digital sphere to promote deep listening. It is about communication, making and maintaining connections, and bridging the gaps to find ways to do things together.
For Lets talk about the weather – the weather as a collective condition we present each person working from/about their location in their own frame, a take on how we appear in our zoom screen boxes.
