Forschungslabor Männlichkeit

In the organizer's words:

Research laboratory masculinity

Exhibition with supporting program

A feminist project week by Janko Krause

In feminist discourse, masculinity is still discussed far too little by (cis-)men themselves, who often take part in feminist discourse passively at best. The "Research Lab" aims to promote discourse on the topic of masculinity(ies) and patriarchal imprinting, particularly among men, but also among the general public. In an exhibition, artists from cis and trans perspectives approach the topic from their respective perspectives in painting, photography and music. The supporting program offers the opportunity to approach the topic in workshops, open discussions and other formats. It's time to be vulnerable and hold each other!

*The program items marked with an asterisk are primarily aimed at people who deal with or have dealt with masculinity/masculinity because of their gender or the gender they were assigned at birth. The aim is to create a safer space in which male-socialized people can practice opening up and meeting each other. In addition, questions and topics can be discussed that could be uncomfortable and stressful for non-male-socialized people. It is an attempt to take responsibility for feminist educational work.

We do not categorize people into binary categories based on their appearance. No identity is denied. Anyone who comes is welcome!
