Abstract: Berlin-based feminist artist Alex Martinis Roe (b. 1982) researched the genealogy of political practice among different feminist movements from the 1970s to the present in Europe and Australia to create To Become Two, a six-element film installation and accompanying exhibition catalog/reader. Using participant observation, oral history interviewing and archival research, Martinis Roe aims to engender new and contemporary ways to practice feminist politics and theory. Twenty women artists, writers, curators and feminist activists also collaborated with Martinis Roe to produce the research creating this in-depth project. Contributors are Alejandra Avils, Ccile Bally, Vasso Belia, Elena Betros, Federica Bueti, sa Elzn, Svenja Engels, Lucia Farinati, Julia Gorostidi, Janneke Koers, Fotini Lazaridou- Hatzigoga, Deborah Ligorio, Sara Paiola, Helena Prez, Helena Reckitt, Alex Martinis Roe, Juliette Sanchez-Lambert, Valerie Terwei, Veronica Valentini, Lea von Wintzingerode, Evelyn Wan and Lindsay Grace Weber. The Feminist collectives are Milan Womens Bookstore Collective, Psychanalyse et Politique, Paris and the Womens Studies at Utrecht University, Holland, in connection to the Sydney Womens Film Group at Sydney University, Australia.
