On the occasion of the exhibition Maria Pinińska-Bereś, a two-day symposium with lectures and artistic contributions at the GfZK will deal with feminist art in Poland. The focus will be on its history in the 20th century and aspects such as the presence of feminist works in museum collections, the significance of performance, the influence of the political reality in the People’s Republic of Poland on artistic work and parallels with the situation of women artists in the GDR. Additionally, the symposium will provide insights into the history of reproductive rights, feminist struggles and the queer movement in Poland today.
The full program and all speakers will be announced in January.
