Lines of Flight web site
A project initiated in conjunction with [subRosa member] Faith Wilding and Kate Davis’ two-woman discursive exhibition project, The Long Loch: How Do We Go On From Here? at the CCA, Glasgow and commissioned for Glasgow International .
In order to explore the question of how we have gone on, how we do go on now, and how we dream/ desire to go on in the future in response to a feminist heritage, artists Faith Wilding and Kate Davis have invited a wide range of co-inspiritors to select up to three starting points for feminist lines of flight in art and politics for discussion and feasting on.

Tanja Ostojic has established a web site where women can easily upload documentation and comment on “Misplaced Women?”, a delegated performance in which women volunteers carry packed suitcases in the public spaces repeatedly pausing to pack and unpack as they move about the city. In this project, Tanja Ostojic enacts an everyday life activity that signifies a displacement as common to transients, migrants, and disaster refugees, as it is to the itinerant artist traveling the world to earn her living. Ostojic’s street performance continues themes of migration, desired mobility, and relations of power and vulnerability in regards to the mobile female body, found in much of her previous work.
