Labouring Bodies

«Labouring Bodies» explores the manifold interdependence between body and technology from a feminist perspective. The group exhibition shows how the human body—especially the feminized and marginalized human body—has since the dawn of the modern age been shaped and controlled by machines, while also being understood as a site of resistance. Artists cast light on working with machines, on the technologization of production and reproduction, and on women’s contribution to technological progress, inviting visitors to rethink their notions of body, labour and care.
