Opening Speech

Bavarian State Minister, Women’s Representative of the Bavarian State Government about my international art project WOMEN IN THE DARK and her patronage of the exhibition “feminine – the social and political power of the feminine in art and society” at Denkraum Deutschland, Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich

Excerpt from the Opening Speech by Mrs. Carolina Trautner
«Red on white – this is how we see the messages of women and girls in front of us – and they hit us with a force that relentlessly shows the long way we still have to go. The messages give us a good boost. […] There is so much power in Franziska Greber’s work. Her exhibition WOMEN IN THE DARK gives a voice to those who our society sees far too seldom. Here girls and women show the violence they are experiencing in our country and around the world. […] This project in the Pinakothek der Moderne gives so many women and girls the chance to raise their voices themselves and get people to think. […] »

Exerpt from the Opening Speech by Dr. Joachim Kaak
«So it is important to talk and think about stereotypes of the feminine and social constraints and last but not least about violence against women, which the impressive and opressiv work of Franziska Greber documents and makes clear. ‘WOMEN IN THE DARK – aufruhr des schweigens’ is funded by the Bavarian State Ministry for Family, Labor and Social Affairs and we will hear more about it at this point.»
