Jernkvinder og Rødstrømper

28.08.2020 - 28.02-2021

​

The Red Star Army Poster collection is to be exhibited at the Women's Museum in Aarhus, Denmark. This successful Exhibition titled Iron Ladies and Restocking was showed at the Danish culture institute in Beijing, with over 100.000 visitors. The exhibition reflects on the history on women's emancipation movements in China and Denmark. 

As the Red Army prioritized gender equality and made women empowerment a strategy of their political agenda, the  women's rights where implemented top down in China. The feminist movements in many Western countries only gained their rights through grassroots and protest and gained their freedom from the bottom and up.

The graphical expressions which comes forth in the exhibition of the Chinese women power poster collection in relation to the Danish Red stocking movement is a unique piece of political art history.

“Iron Women and Red Stockings”

30.03.2019 - 02.06.2019

propaganda and gender politics

Danish Cultural Center in Beijing recently opened the retrospective poster exhibit “Iron Women and Red Stockings” which is a double representation of Danish and Chinese women’s liberation campaigns and propaganda posters from the 1940’s through the 1970’s.

“Iron Women and Red Stockings” prompts us to recall the propaganda poster as an art form, and not least a means for proactive gender politics, welfare and socially founded growth.

The exhibit is organized in collaboration with Hafnia Foundation and Kvindehuset i Gothersgade.

The double exhibit is part of “Women Hold Up Half the Sky,” which largely informs this year’s activities for, about, to and by women in China and the North, staged by the Cultural Center in 2019.

The exposition of the Chinese and Danish propaganda works reminds us of the interplay between progress, welfare, human worth and a proactive gender policy.

By drawing parallels between Denmark and China and the advances done in the two countries, the exhibit aims to illustrate that gender equality, although it is predominately the same battle, must find its own culturally characteristic expression.The Chinese poster collection (Curated by Rodney Cone and Stevens Vaughn) mirrors the Cultural Revolution in Communist China from 1949 to 1979 and constitutes the greater part of the exhibited posters.

The Danish works reflect the women’s movement from 1969 to 1979 with posters from the the Red Stocking Movement, Countess Danner, the summer camps on the island of Femø i.a. Which Kvindehuset I Gothersgade have supplied in the form of high-res scans.

The exhibit will “Iron Women and Red Stockings” will run until 2 June 2019.
