We are born into an already-constructed world – we don’t choose our own history, context, or culture. We each enter with new eyes into a culture which has already been shaped and structured based on the desires and power of others. This culture is most often opaque, hidden under the smooth surface of ‘the way it is,’ and ‘the way it was’.

Museums are institutions that are entrusted to preserve – they are a repository of highly selective views of history and civilization. There is no lack of depictions of women on display, mothers, wives, prostitutes, artist’s models and muses – contemporary, classical and religious figures are all seen through the eyes of male artists. Taking into account this imbalance, through what lens should this work be viewed today?

Girls / Museum is a voyage through the historical art collection of the MdbK/Museum of Fine Art Leipzig, guided by the expertise and insights of a group of girls, ages 7 to 19. Moving from artwork to artwork, century to century, they tell us what they see. Bringing up issues such as gender fluidity, power, inequality, precarity and war, their responses, both directly and indirectly, raise questions about what and who we, as a culture, value.
