About the exhibition
In 1973, art students Evelyn Kuwertz, Brigitte Mauch, and Antonia Wernery created a life-size environment as part of their thesis at the Berlin University of the Arts, titled “On the Situation of Women in Family and Society.” They examined media portrayals of women in the 1960s and 1970s, revealing how women were reduced to the roles of mother, housewife, and sex object—culminating in the “final product wife.” Shortly before the exhibition opening, it was censored due to “moral concerns.” Since then, the work has not been on display again in Berlin.

Galerie im Körnerpark is now exhibiting the surviving parts of the environment for the first time in fifty years, accompanied by sketches and archival materials from Kuwertz’s private collection, contextualizing the work as an important document of feminist art history in West Berlin.

The exhibition initiates a dialogue with nine contemporary artistic perspectives and, fifty years later, raises once again the question: What is the situation of women in family and society today? Right-wing movements and anti-feminism have risen worldwide, conservative gender roles are experiencing a resurgence, and the achievements of the "Me too" era are severely under pressure. The invited artists take up the topics of the “Emmas”—care work, media’s constructions of femininity, violence against women, and feminist image production—tracing continuities and ruptures.

Learning from Airplants, Berlin, 2025

Learning from Airplants  project as part of Ortaokul Initiative’s program 

“What does your community need”, Berlin, 2025

Oda Projesi’s project Learning from Airplants began with the idea of closely

observing air plants Tillandsia together with the Willkommenklasse students

and exploring the possibilities of living and growing not from the earth but

from the air. These plants do not grow in soil and do not depend on soil or

ground to survive, absorb moisture and nutrients directly from the air and

their surroundings and hold onto trees, rocks, walls, or various surfaces

only temporarily. So we asked ourselves: What can we learn from t hese

plants? Through embodied practices, mimicking the adaptive strategies of

air plants, we explored with drawing, making small sculptural forms, jumping

and performing, how we might strengthen ourselves in moments of

transition. We imagined working on tools that could ease the students’

transition into a new country and remind them of the already existing

resilience and adaptability they carry within themselves wherever they go.

The project is realized toget her with Caoucharatou, Edwina, Hadia, John,

Maher, Myroslav, Negina, Tammy, Vitali, Youssef, Zuhra with the support of

Sophie, Ruken and Dana.

Much of a muchness, Berlin, 2024

Much of a muchness, Mad Tea Party performative gathering and exhibition in 

Signal Window at Emergency Project Room run by Chto Delat Collective, Berlin, 2024

Oda Projesi was invited to one of the “Mad Tea Party” workshop series
by Chto Delat’s Emergency Project Room. Özge Açıkkol and Seçil Yersel
from Oda Projesi took the title from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by
L. Carroll from which the title of the workshop series is also inspired
from: “The Mad Tea Party”. The concept “much of muchness” helped us
and the partipants to discuss the meaning of trying to find a space and
time for ourselves, for our bodies, minds, thoughts, acts and motions in
these times of “muchness" of all kinds. Muchness is integrated in variety,
richness, plurality but also in the incredible amount of displacements,
migrations and movements done with human interaction as the result of
different types of violence taking place in the world right now. A
ceremony took place in two parts where we focused on the complexity
of "being human” by creating an encounter where we wished to visualize
approaches both from human and non-human perspective through these
questions: What do you think is muchness? What kind of a non-human
are you?
