Feminism affects everyone! And it does so everywhere: at work, on the streets, at home, in matters of reproduction, in the writing of history and, not least, in art. Every step towards greater equality is accompanied by protests and resistance, because feminist struggles are tied to specific social and political circumstances. Despite the diversity of their demands, feminists of all times and places are united by the aspiration to critically examine existing inequalities and to envision futures in which structural, economic and real equality for all women* is a reality.
Feminist Futures Forever brings together 237 international artists from different generations. The focus is on the diversity of their artistic practices. Feminist demands, socio-political impacts and different temporalities are interwoven: each concern engages critically with its respective history and present, whilst addressing the conditions of an imagined future. Feminist Futures Forever follows this principle, directing our gaze both backwards and forwards: drawing on the 1985 exhibition *Kunst mit Eigen-Sinn*, it brings international, intersectional and cross-generational positions into dialogue with one another. The artworks reflect the diversity of feminist perspectives and demonstrate that there is neither a single form of feminism nor a uniform feminist aesthetic. Issues of gender, the body, labour, desire, memory and social participation are explored from diverse perspectives. Dorit Margreiter Choy and Cosma Grosser underpin this approach through the exhibition architecture they have developed. Committed to the spirit of feminist spatial production, they conceive of both the building and the institution as dynamic structures.
