Concurrently to Panoramism and the Abstract Sector, Esther Schipper presents Paul B. Preciado and Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster’s project Une Valise Transféministe, first presented at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in 2019.

Une Valise Transféministe is an ensemble composed of different suitcases, books and a film.

The film gathers photographic excerpts of feminist, lesbian, queer, anarcho-libertarian, and trans texts. A visual representation of shared reading, the film poses (and seeks to give one possible answer to) the question of how text and books can be exhibited. All the texts depicted in the film recur as physical books in the three suitcases. The three used suitcases are filled with sets of books from different eras and represent history, development and legacy of feminist and transfeminist thought.
