The ideologies we live in creep into the core of our beings and direct how we activate our bodies, where we address attention and how we perceive ourselves and the world around us. Human senses are biased: they are reflections of our conscious and unconscious understandings of our existence in the environment. 

Julia Sterre Schmitz’s documentary film Come Here, Come Here invites (self)discovery of a 12cm organ left out of anatomy books and science discourse, as well as the general knowledge, until 1998. Stephanie Pan develops a feminist manifesto containing vocal gestures, discovering How To Not Know she suggests ways of being and creating while trusting the body, leaning on intuition and celebrating emotionality, vulnerability, and empathy. Kexin Hao with Forceful Catering transforms the rice-pounding utensils into experimental percussion instruments that produce bass beats to electronic music; while blending the public and domestic space she reclaims the act of penetration. 

A Women’s Day program that honours and encourages intuition, action, and (self)discovery.

Which sensations do we allow ourselves to have and how to express them, which knowledge do we lean on? It is a challenge to navigate what inputs to trust among scientific books, classical paintings, pop songs or Instagram ads. On Point of Climax searches for tactics and tools art can offer to explore female bodies and extend the ways of how the body can be activated.
