SO MUCH I WANT TO SAY: FROM ANNEMIEK TO MOTHER COURAGE
Goetz Collection at Haus der Kunst

In the 1990s, the theoretical basis for gender studies was being established. These have since become familiar to us through comparative literature, cultural studies and related disciplines. The works Ingvild Goetz added to her collection of media-art reflect keen interest in these issues at the time. The selected films date from the 1970s and later. With their female protagonists, they depict role models and thus a certain understanding of femininity; or explicitly represent a feminist position. Including works by Chantal Akerman, Rineke Dijkstra, Tracey Moffatt, Rosemarie Trockel and others, the exhibition provides an overview of the development of feminist discourse since that period.
