The project aims to make cross-societal demands of the Woman* Life Freedom movement(s) more visible in Leipzig. 'Embodying Resistance' explores 'movement' in all its dimensions: as a social and political movement, a dynamic process of transformation, and self-determined physical movement. Through performances, panel discussions, film screenings, and a poster campaign in the urban space, we aim to examine strategies of resistance and explore potential ways of expressing solidarity with the Woman*, Life, Freedom movements (Jin, Jiyan, Azadî).
