The exhibition "Why We Should All Be Feminists", in which curators Sabine Fellner and Alex Ion Radu bring together the works of 44 high-caliber men and women artists from Romania and Austria, will be opened on Thursday in Bucharest.
According to a press release from the Austrian Cultural Forum sent to AGERPRES on Wednesday, the exhibition is a plea - certainly incomplete, but democratic and depolarizing - for a change in the way we have become accustomed to responding to old social dynamics and to building new ones (individual, collective, governing, human-non-human etc.).
The artists present in the exhibition are Elisa Andessner, Iris Andraschek, Simona Andrioletti, Suzanne Anker, Stella Bach, Liliana Basarab, Renate Bertlmann, Irina Botea Bucan, Geta Bratescu, Julia Bugram, Codruta Cernea, Sevda Chkoutova, Katharina Cibulka, Alexandra Croitoru, Simona Deaconescu, Andreea Grigoras, Lacra Grozavescu, Markus Hanakam & Roswitha Schuller, Edgar Honetschlager, Nona Inescu, Aurora Kiraly, Claudia Larcher, Maria Legat, Lea Liebl, Monica C. LoCascio, Carola Mair, Marta Mattioli, Mihai Mihalcea, Mihaela Moldovan, Anca Munteanu Rimnic, Monika Pichler, Margot Pilz Beamer, Charmaine Poh, Bogdan Rata, Ness Rubey, Elisabeth von Samsonow, Oana Stanciu, Starsky, Lisa Strasser, Mircea Suciu, Taietzel Wicked, Mara Verhoogt, Nives Widauer.
Artists from both countries are trying to propose solutions and ideas for more equitable, more sustainable communities that accept diversity and differences, that show more care for their members - qualities that are so necessary today more than ever. Their works, all of them of great impact, are of the most diverse, from drawing and painting to multimedia art and installation, contemporary art projects of the 20th and 21st centuries.
The exhibition is part of the international project "Why We Should All Be Feminists'", conceived by Sabine Fellner and developed in numerous countries around the world, in collaboration with the network of Austrian Cultural Forums. Bucharest was chosen as the second stage of this project, given the prestige of /SAC - Contemporary Art Space and the performance of the gallery team in the realization of the exhibition "Touch Nature" (Bucharest, April-May 2024). The Bucharest version of "Why We Should All Be Feminists'" is conceived exclusively for Romania by curators Sabine Fellner and Alex Ion Radu.
The exhibition can be visited between December 18, 2025 and February 14, 2026.
"Why We Should All Be Feminists'" is organized by /SAC - Contemporary Art Space and the Austrian Cultural Forum, with the support of the Austrian Ministry for European and International Affairs, within the "Calliope. Join the Dots" program.
The National News Agency AGERPRES is the media partner of the event.
