The personal and the political

In their performances, author and artist Romy Rüegger and electronic music performer Deena Abdelwahed reflect on ways of personal entanglement with the world and its politics, including the interpretation of history as part of the present. These performances are part of the ‘the other self’ series at Q-O2, on the relation between gender, voice, language, and identity.
