Talk – Crossing Borders

Please note that the event will be held in English.

The exhibition “Women Artists. From Monjé to Münter” looks at 31 female artists who were active in Düsseldorf during 1819-1919 – a time when they were not allowed to study at the prestigious art academy. But what about women artists today? How do they work, what strategies do they pursue to be seen and what obstacles do they face? And how about the other side, the curators? In our conversation ‘Crossing Borders’, artist Hyunjin Kim and curator Riikka Thitz talk about their practice, their work and which borders they have crossed – and which they still want to cross.

An event organised in cooperation with the Finnland-Institut, Berlin.
