Un_erhört. Wie sich die Vulva heute Gehör verschafft! | Group exhibition at Rudolf-Scharpf-Galerie im Wilhelm-Hack-Museum 11.10. – 15.12.2024

 

"Despite gaining increasing presence and visibility on a motif and linguistic level over the last ten years, entering popular culture with appearances on T-shirts and in music videos, the vulva1, particularly as the external part of the female genitalia, remains underrepresented and associated with shame and taboo. Therefore, the exhibition Unheard. How the Vulva Is Making Itself Heard Today! aims to align itself with the centuries-long process of valorization and re-appropriation of the vulva. It seeks to illustrate how 21st-century female artists engage with the vulva in a simultaneously serious and playful manner. Operating at the intersection of contemporary art, feminist activism, and educational efforts, the exhibition not only attempts to contribute to the visibility and de-stigmatization of the vulva but also aims to sensitize people to the topic and create empowering moments for visitors. The goal is to appeal to as diverse an audience as possible and, through an interactive accompanying program featuring workshops, readings, and public sexual health consultations, alleviate visitors' shame and fear related to the (own) vulva."

Beyond me
| Solo exhibition at Galerie im Tempelhof Museum 2.2. – 14.4.2024

"The photo artist Bob Jones deals with the diverse interrelations of identity, body and societal role. The exhibition 'Beyond me' draws from works between 2016 and today, which, on the one hand, relate to the artist's dealing with their own body and on the other hand, reflect on the impact of societal norms. Traditional ways of (women*) depictions are deconstructed and met with irony in order to develop new perspectives on the question of one's position within society."

Group exhibition TRANSITIONS: Protest Cultures and Digital Worlds in Transition at Museum für Photographie Braunschweig

 

"Currently, many phenomena of transition are emerging in society: [...]

What role can artistic photography play in these different processes of change? What kind of representation does it pursue? Does it actively participate and take a stand or does it remain a distanced observer? Does it transform the means of fast-moving digital communication or the process of change itself into components of the artistic work?"
