No Master Territories – Feminist Worldmaking and the Moving Image in Haus der Kulturen der Welt | 19.06.-28.08.2022

Editors’ Choice

On June 18th, the exhibition No Master Territories: Feminist Worldmaking and the Moving Image opens at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt. On the basis of over 80 films and videos, it examines how artists and filmmakers have tapped into the moving image as a source of inspiration for feminist imaginary worlds. The exhibition focuses on the formative period from the 1970s to the 1990s from a global perspective and opens up a comprehensive view of the underestimated encounters between feminism and film.

On the one hand, feminism has long since arrived in the mainstream. On the other hand, it has to be defended against a neoliberal ideal image of the successful individual. In the field of contemporary art, hybrid forms between documentary and art film have largely established themselves. In these contexts, the exhibition No Master Territories takes a strategic look at the past: it looks at the formative phase of the 1970s to the 1990s – to pay tribute to pioneering works, but also to find answers to the urgencies of the present.

No Master Territories brings together the diverse practices of documentary and art film for an intersectional look at the often underappreciated genealogies of feminist film and video.

The project unfolds across the exhibition hall and cinema of the HKW and includes an exhibition, a weekly film programme and special screenings. Across global and polycentric geographies, the multi-faceted presentation asks how artists and filmmakers have explored the intersection of gender and power. In doing so, it uncovers contact zones where feminism meets other struggles for justice.
