Talk with the feminist theorist and quantum physicist Karen Barad

Online lecture with the feminist theorist and quantum physicist Karen Barad. With an introduction by Lea Porsager and Lars Bang Larsen, who will also moderate the subsequent Q&A session.

With their book Meeting the Universe Halfway (2007) Karen Barad created a seminal new reading of Niels Bohr’s idea of quantum physics as a challenge to Western philosophy and our ethical practices. Barad’s proposition for a new type of materialist thinking – an ’agential realism’ in which matter and meaning are entangled – is a great inspiration for the work of Lea Porsager. Karen Barad is Distinguished Professor of Feminist Studies, Philosophy, and History of Consciousness at the University of California in Santa Cruz.

The lecture will take place online at www.arthubcopenhagen.net.

Joining the online talk does not require signing up beforehand.

The talk will be in English and is organised in a collaboration between Kunsthal Charlottenborg and Art Hub Copenhagen.
