Gender Check

Zacheta National Gallery of Art, Warsaw

It is the first comprehensive exhibition featuring art from Eastern Europe since the 1960s based on the theme of gender roles. 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the curator Bojana Pejic, along with a team of experts from 24 different countries, has put together a selection of over 300 works including paintings, sculpture, installations, photography, posters, films and videos.

The exhibition, initiated and supported by the Erste Foundation, shows the interrelationship between art and history following both a chronological and thematic approac.
