Revolt She Said

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of 1968, we (alpha nova & galerie futura and District Berlin) have taken the opportunity to engage from feminist and decolonial perspectives with the protest movements in Germany in the 1960s, which also fully redefined the field of art. We are moved by the question of which histories, participants, and voices still remain invisible within the dominant narratives about 1968 and how they can be reactualized for the contemplation and creation of present and future socio-political processes and demands. With a series of events entitled Revolt She Said, we sought to reassess the production of narratives and historiography and to (re)tell the movements of this time from the perspective of their feminist, anti-colonial, diasporic, migrant, Jewish, and Black organizations. The homonymous publication provides a deeper insight into the event-specific topics, discussions and reflections on 68 and their implications on the present and future.

With contributions by: Sharon Adler and Merle Stöver, Karina Griffith, Dr. Natasha A. Kelly, Andrea Caroline Keppler and Katharina Koch, Martina Kofer, Pınar Öğrenci, Dr. Peggy Piesche, Dr. Gabriele Schor, PD Dr. Anja Zimmermann
