How can we take better care of each other and the environment? That question is central to RE/SISTERS: A Lens on Gender and Ecology, a major international exhibition featuring 50 female and gender non-conforming artists. A FOMU-guide leads you through critical perspectives and new visions of the future.
This tour is available from Friday 29 March to Sunday 18 August 2024
Through photography, film and installations, the artists show that the exploitation of the planet cannot be viewed separately from the oppression of women and minority groups. They question existing capitalist power structures and look for solutions to restore our fragile ecosystem. RE/SISTERS is an exhibition that simultaneously advocates a climate-just and gender-equal future.
RE/SISTERS consists of six thematic chapters: mining - protest and resistance - ecological concern - environmental racism - queerness - new social structures and hierarchies. Together they reframe our thinking about the environment and gender, emphasizing the radical power of care in the face of exploitation.
