2026

In 2024, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Bremen Women Artists’ Association, Petra Fiebig visited GEDOK fellow artists at their workplaces. Guided by the central question, “How to survive as a female artist?”, she interviewed them about life decisions, economic conditions, and the challenges of artistic work. In Fiebig’s installation – presented at the GAK and composed of digitally recorded routes, photographs, drawings, and notes from conversations at the GAK – only a fraction of these interviews was incorporated. To share the knowledge contained within them and to draw attention to often overlooked realities, a publication is now being released that makes structural challenges visible and provides autobiographical insights into the artists’ lives, working methods, and strategies.
