RE/SISTERS surveys the systemic links between the degradation of the planet and the oppression of women and minorities. The exhibition is rooted in ecofeminism, a movement that arose in the 1970s and is alive and kicking today. RE/SISTERS brings us eye -to -eye with activist women and communities. They are often at the forefront of advocating and caring for the planet, as they are oppressed by the same social, economic and political power structures.

The exhibition brings together works from over forty international women and gender non-confirming artists. Through photographs, videos and installations dating from 1969 to the present, we see their view of our world and habitat as allies, victims and leaders. And how they present themselves as fellow resisters, fighting systems of oppression.

Public Program

RE/SISTERS and its public programme invite you to let go of deeply ingrained assumptions and to make room for new perspectives. Guided by the phrase ‘The change we want to bring is what binds us’, FOMU and MINO work together to connect local partners. Ongoing conversations and reflections form a shared basis for the public programme that accompanies the exhibition.

Book

Accompanying the exhibition is a richly illustrated catalog published in collaboration with Prestel. The book is structured around six thematic chapters, featuring essays by leading thinkers such as Kathryn Yusoff, Astrida Neimanis, Catriona Sandilands, Greta LaFleur, Lucy Bradnock, Christine Okoth, Anna Feigenbaum, Angela Dimitrikaki, Ros Gray, and Alona Pardo. Graphic design by The Bon Ton.

The exhibition is realized in collaboration with the Barbican in Londen, curator Alona Pardo.
