Our Voices. On the trail of female visual artists

On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of its re-founding after the Second World War, the Deutscher Künstlerbund, in cooperation with the Wilhelm-Hack-Museum in Ludwigshafen am Rhein, is devoting itself to the question of the situation of female artists since 1950 and the many obstacles to equality in the art world that still exist today. Despite all the positive developments of recent decades and an increased general perception of women in the art world, there are still significant differences between the sexes in Germany in 2025 in terms of pay, visibility in exhibitions and representation in galleries and collections. The exhibition "OUR VOICES. In the footsteps of female visual artists" spans seventy-five years of artistic creation in twenty-four positions. In a broad spectrum of different media - painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, textile art, installation, photography and video - it illuminates both the individual, biographical situation of female artists as well as diverse aspects of the changing position of women in society.
