10 years ago the 10 square meter large pencil drawing by Ukrainian artists Lada Nakonechna “Perspective” was opened in the main reading room of the university library Albertina. The 50th jubilee of the sister city partnership between Kiew and Leipzig was celebrated in the meantime as well as a panel discussion took place about accessibility to art and education also focusing on the disappearance of public space from a scientific view point. How can the situation be judged ten years after? Are there changes which took place? From an intercultural perspective a focus on the female artist should be focused on and their access to the educational and artistic sector.
Leipzig was an important center for the emergence of new forms of political associations and organizations in the 19th century. It is well known that the first nationwide women’s association – the General German Women’s Association – 1865 by Louise Otto-Peters, Auguste Schmidt and Henriette Goldschmidt was founded in Leipzig ; however, there is little information about the time before that significant foundation of the association. “A new movement: re * mapping Leipzig” is a Project that deals with the history, present and (in) visibility of the Women * movements as well as FLINTA * stories (“women, lesbians, inter-, non-binary, trans and agender “people) in Leipzig.
