Feminist Futures Forever features works by artists ranging from the feminist avant-garde to the current generation. The point of departure is the exhibition Kunst mit Eigen-Sinn: Internationale Ausstellung aktueller Kunst von Frauen (Art with a Mind of Its Own: An International Exhibition of Contemporary Art by Women), which was held in 1985 at what is now Belvedere 21.
Feminist movements are characterized by continuity; they began long before the 1980s, continue into our present, and have lost none of their relevance. They have been diverse from the very beginning. This polyphony will be expressed through different artistic positions, media, themes, and generations.
The focus is on artworks that address sociopolitical, gender-specific, and ecological issues, with the systematic expansion of the Belvedere’s collection playing a crucial role here. The works on display critically examine the past, navigate our present, and make loud demands for a shared future.
In this sense, the title of the exhibition can also be understood as a plea for possible new perspectives: Feminist Futures Forever!
