This is amazing!

📣 “As long as generations change but our struggles stay the same, I will be a feminist.”

We are thrilled to announce that "SOLANGE #27" is up on the facade of our building! In vivid pink tulle on white mesh fabric, Katharina Cibulka and her team cross-stitch poetic and witty declarations that address gender-based inequity and social power structures. For each of Cibulka’s site-specific “SOLANGE” (German for "as long as") installations, the artist considers the local environment and community while developing the phrase for that location.

Cibulka and her team developed a sentence for NMWA that spotlights marginalized groups who must repeatedly, across generations, demand equal rights.
