STATEMENTS OF PARTICIPANTS

Carolina Trautner | Bavarian State Minister for Family, Labor and Social Affairs, Commissioner for Women’s Issues of the Bavarian State Government
« […] that many women have written down their oppressive stories here in order to then strike their liberation blow on this wall. I find that incredibly impressive – I think it’s ingenious, linking social issues and art.»

Pia Brüner | Art Education Pinakothek der Moderne 
« […] because through Franziska Greber’s art people come into contact with each other on very different levels. […] it’s a wonderful example for me of how I imagine the museum, as a lively place, as a socially relevant place, and as a place where people meet and exchange ideas.»

Dr. Monika Schröttle | Political and Social Scientist
« […] This scientific, political and artistic approach and bringing together […] is a whole other level of seeing and recognizing things […] you want to climb up a ladder and read everything […] and like to do more and further evaluate these treasures that are in there.»

STATEMENTS OF PARTICIPANTS

Antje Krüger | Project Partner WOMEN IN THE DARK Germany
«The idea to do that came up in Switzerland when you presented to us, what you had done in other countries – and then for us very quickly the thought that this is also possible here with us. […] Before that, it was partly unimaginable. […] There are always people who you can inspire with this idea […] The theme of this DENKRAUM ‘feminine’ and the examination of the potential of femininity in art and society, that also has something to do with this project.»

Michael Wladarsch | cultural organizer, artist & designer
«Your art […] creates an abstract size, which is simply not comprehensible, to open […] where one is touched. […] The care with which each individual shirt, each individual woman, each fate is valued and also respected […] and that, in my view, distinguishes an art that interferes and that is political and that also has a statement. […] an artist who has very good ideas and a very good concept to make a situation visible.»

Nina Wurman | Musician
«It was very clear to me that I was doing this. […] Everything kind of fell into place. […] What I totally underestimated is what it means for women to read these texts.»

Ute Brechtelsbauer | Social Worker
« […] exciting how the mood has changed […] suddenly a spirit of upbeat has arisen […]. I was here with five women […] it was so moving.»

Anja Papenfuss | Young BPW – Business and Professional Women Club
«I was able to become part of such a big whole […] that alone made a big impression on me […] it was quite an extraordinary work for me.»

What do we avoid? — What are my fears? —
What changes are needed to lead this dialogue? — What requirements are needed to discuss my concern?
