Women fighting for climate protection

Exhibition Aug 7 – 18.9.2026
Opening hours: Tuesday and Friday, 5–8 PM and during events and special opening for “Berlin Art Week” daily Sept. 9–13, 2026 also 5–8 PM.

In all parts of the world, women are fighting against the climate crisis. Both visibly, such as German activist Luisa Neubauer, Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo, or African climate ambassador Vanessa Nakate, as well as in numerous ways in everyday life. Structural and geographical conditions ensure that women can be particularly affected by climate change. At the same time, they are still underrepresented in political decision-making processes and technical climate professions.

Following an international open call, the exhibition brings together selected works by women artists from Europe and asks: How do women shape climate action? What challenges do they face, what visions do they develop, and what contribution do they make to a sustainable future?

The works on display open up diverse perspectives on gender, climate, and social change. They make engagement visible, question existing structures, and invite reflection on responsibility, justice, and transformation.

Sustainability is not only the theme of the exhibition, but also part of its implementation. The women artists have provided information on the share of reused materials in their works. The exhibition is planned and realized in a resource-efficient way.

imperative of flexibility. Tandem case. Yoana Tuzharova. 2020

The old slogan of the alternative movement combines global responsibility with local action. In the homeland where we are at home, we are strong. The earth is a complex organism in which cause and effect are not always spatially close. Through our decision, we as purchasers can directly influence the actions of the polluters. But politicians must also take action.

Today, there are more and more local reasons to act: The daughter doesn’t want to eat meat anymore for climate protection reasons. Friends talk about flight shame and plastic shame. For the ski vacation lacks snow at the usual resort. The bark beetle has attacked the local forest. The water level in German regions is falling. The summer heat is unbearable. Farmers have crop losses due to drought.

Example: virgin forests are being destroyed on Earth, so globally, which is what I want to fight. That’s why I protest locally, i.e. on the spot in my neighborhood, when a forest or park is destroyed here, try to save paper myself and don’t buy any items made from tropical wood. Abstaining from meat also helps, as the cleared land is often used to raise cattle or grow soy for livestock feed.

Example: Increasing emissions of carbon dioxide are heating up the earth’s climate, which is a global problem. As an individual in Germany, I cannot influence politics in China or India so that fewer coal-fired power plants are built there or people do not drive cars. But I myself can, for example, as a local decision, use a bicycle instead of a car and influence the policy.

  • Corona Performance / Viral Horizons from Tom Albert and Rosa Schmidt




    The idea for this performance arose spontaneously under the first impression of the threat of the corona virus and the subsequent shutdown of the economy, travel and physical encounters. “The virus is the most radical decelerator of our time”. (







    Hartmut Rosa







    )


    Climate change and the Corona pandemic are linked. Being globally everywhere and using global resources is part of the reason for the pandemic. More and more people are claiming more and more wildlife habitats, land use has been greatly changed by humans, wildlife, livestock and animal products are transported around the globe, and global travel increased greatly.






    CHOREOGRAPHY










    INDIGO WINGS





    The planet a sphere, yielding to gravity a breathing, an admission to rotation in the colored twilight, to perishability, to becoming and passing, an exercise of trust in the carrying capacity of the earth’s crust, an overcoming of the civilization’s flight acceleration frenzy, a momentary collapse of total networking, a vanity withdrawal attempt, a suspension, a farewell, a flapping of wings, a prayer close to the earth, an erection of the spine against the gesture of domination, a shift of perspective in several sequences, a transformation of techno-totalitarian arrogance compulsions.

Finissage 8.5., 7 p.m. online
