Game session
Art & My Career by Olivia Hernaïz

To accompany the current exhibition of the Feminist Art Prize 2022, IKOB organizes an evening game session around the theme of women in the art world, in collaboration with the book club PULVA from Eupen that explores feminist topics.

From artists to museum directors - how do women manage to find their place in the art world? Addressing the issue of under-representation of women in the art world, the board game "Art & My Career" by artist Olivia Hernaïz, based on hundred of testimonies, features different careers in the art world. From artist to museum curator, players are invited to put themselves in their shoes in order to better understand their struggle. The game session will be led by mediators.

The exhibition will be open during the game session and can be visited throughout the evening.
