Feminist Exhibition at Nordico Stadtmuseum Linz
What the Fem?
For some it is the only way to a just future, for others it is the beginning of the end: Feminism tempts society into heated discussions - and often prevails. The Nordico Stadtmuseum in Linz is now bundling the last 70 years of feminist movements, questions and approaches and exposing them in What the Fem?
November 11, 2022
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.
