SANDRA KANTANEN & BETTINA VON ZWEHL: IN THE NOW: GENDER AND NATION IN EUROPE, BROOKLYN MUSEUM

8 March - 7 July 2024

In the Now unites nearly fifty women artists (including Sandra Kantanen and Bettina von Zwehl) who are resisting traditional ideas of gender and nationality, as well as of photography itself. The first museum survey of photography-based works by women artists born or based in Europe, this exhibition interrogates the continent’s legacies of nationalism and patriarchal power structures—which continue to shape everyday life, particularly for women. 

 

In the Now highlights the expansive nature of the Sir Mark Fehrs Haukohl Photography Collection at the Brooklyn Museum and Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Made entirely after 2000, the exhibition’s more than seventy artworks offer a window into the first decades of the twenty-first century.
