The Facts

Belvedere 21 in Vienna presents 'Feminist Futures Forever', an exhibition that brings together international, intersectional, and intergenerational feminist positions. The show takes its departure point from the 1985 exhibition 'Kunst mit Eigen-Sinn' (Art with a Mind of Its Own), which was held at what is now Belvedere 21. Featured artists include VALIE EXPORT and Florentina Holzinger, alongside works from the feminist avant-garde to the current generation. The exhibition architecture by Dorit Margreiter Choy and Cosma Grosser challenges the institutional museum space.

The Signal

The exhibition reflects Belvedere 21's ongoing commitment to expanding its collection and engaging with feminist discourse. By revisiting a pivotal 1985 exhibition, it situates contemporary feminist practices within a longer historical arc. The show's focus on sociopolitical, gender-specific, and ecological issues aligns with a broader curatorial turn toward activist and intersectional programming in European institutions.
