Tina Hrevušová: Pioneers of Identities
The exhibition presents the life and work of the forgotten German transgender artist Toni Ebel (1891–1961), one of the first people to undergo gender-affirming surgery in Berlin. Through her life and artistic expression, she made a profound contribution to the history of trans* people.
Contemporary artist Kristina Hrevušová responds to Ebel’s legacy with a series of works that deconstruct notions of identity and create new mythologies beyond the boundaries of normativity and binary categories. The artist will be present at the opening. Kristina Hrevušová is a multimedia artist and a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (AVU).
The exhibition was created in collaboration with the Society for Queer Memory, the Goethe Institut in Prague and Magnus Hirschfeld Gesellschaft in Berlin.
