6 pm: Curators’ tour

The curatorial team of “Eccentric 80s” offers a tour through their exhibition.

7 pm: Panel “Women working with women. Feminist Art:  80s/Today” with Ergül Cengiz (3 Hamburger Frauen), Burcu Dogramaci, Sarah Happersberger and Marie Schleef

The figure of complicity, which is central to the exhibition “Eccentric 80s”, refers to a solidary collaboration that transcends generations and modes of expression. The panel discusses being an accomplice with a view to feminist artistic, curatorial and research practices. Artist Ergül Cengiz, theater director Marie Schleef, art historians Sarah Happersberger and Burcu Dogramaci will talk about collaboration as empowerment: how can feminist historiography function less as a promotional visualization and more as a gesture of cooperation with historical positions as well? What new queer-feminist spaces of thought and action modes are and have been opened up by working together in the 1980s and today?
