What the Fem?

Starting November 11, the Nordico Stadtmuseum in Linz will be transformed into an image of a social boxing ring. With terms such as gendering, quota woman, mansplaining, femicide, LGBTQIA+ and #metoo, (modern) feminism first entered the consciousness of a broad mass and burned itself into the collective memory as a »word that many take offense at, that is heatedly discussed, that is ignored, repressed and defended.«

According to Nordico Stadtmuseum, the exhibition What the Fem? now makes a discursive contribution to feminism by placing current artistic positions in dialogue with documentation of local feminist actions and performances from the last 70 years. The exhibits demonstrate how the political movement today, as in the past, has dealt with questions of equality, role attributions and their social consequences. It is precisely this form of debate that What the Fem? also aims to evoke in the minds of the public. There is time for viewing until March 23, 2023.
