What does femininity mean? Is it a role imposed on us or a force that unfolds beyond convention? Is it light or pain, creation or rebellion? These questions run through the exhibition "Femininity," which runs from May 16 to July 6, 2025, at the SCHLUH Gallery in Worpswede.
Three artists—Anna Schill, Julia Pugacheva, and Markus Lippeck—approach this topic through painting, graphics, photography, sculptures, and a room-filling installation. Their works speak of transformation, intuition, and identity. Anna Schill's book "Between Two Worlds"—a collection of essays exploring femininity from diverse perspectives—accompanies the exhibition.
One of the central texts in this book, "Women Woven of Light and Pain," is more than a reflection on women in art. It is an emotional journey through generations of female artists, through their struggles and triumphs, their quiet, often invisible power. With haunting images, this text tells of women who were not just muses, but creators, many of whom only found recognition after their deaths.
We invite you to explore this text—as a foretaste of the exhibition and as an invitation to read the book "Between Two Worlds." Let yourself be moved by stories that capture the essence of femininity in all its depth.
Why now? Why here?
Worpswede is celebrating Paula Modersohn-Becker this year – a woman who pushed boundaries in her art, who didn't settle for what was expected of her. This exhibition explores her spirit. What does it mean to be a woman today? What does it mean to understand femininity not as an ascription, but as a possibility?
This exhibition is not a homage to a particular image of women. It is an invitation to feel, to remember, to question. It is a journey into the essence of what connects us—in art, in life, in ourselves.
