“Do you feel me now?” sings Britney Spears in her song Toxic and forms the symbolic figure of the exhibition by Julie Legouez, Evelina Reiter and Shona Stark. Spears embodies the multi-layered aspects of female representation. In a world where the media and the public have a significant influence on how women are perceived, the exhibition offers a platform for reflection and interpretation of the deep-rooted prejudices against women.

The exhibition highlights the individual experiences, struggles and triumphs of a BIPoC trans person, challenging societal norms and encouraging a more inclusive and sensitive understanding of race and gender.

Elisa Duca’s artistic practice is shaped by transcultural experiences of foreignness and has its place in post-migrant society. In her performative installations she creates living mixed states, hybrids, in which the dissolution of binaries can be experienced.

The apparent tranquility of things often hides incongruities. Océane Moussé’s exhibition of smudged, crumpled, accumulated, layered, and tattered landscapes reveals a latent tension and underscores the persistent idea that one landscape can conceal another.

We live in a class society in which not everyone has the same opportunities for personal development from birth. Social mobility is possible, but strongly influenced by family resources. To what extent does an examination of class and classism take place in the visual arts?

Seven international artists explore the concept of bodily autonomy through different artistic media and invite visitors to imagine what it would be like if everyone could decide freely and without restrictions about their bodies.
