Rebekka Benzenberg‘s first institutional solo exhibition „They Longing for an Ancient Tragedy“ at Kunstmuseum Mühlheim opens this Saturday, April 25, 2026, at 5 pm!
The exhibition is curated by Dr. Stefanie Zanon (Kreuzer).
„In her artistic exploration of the history of misogyny, Benzenberg draws on motifs charged by mythology and art history and lays them bare: as symbols, as vehicles for attributions, as social explosives. In her first institutional solo exhibition, she unambiguously focuses on the many faces of misogyny—and on how deeply they are inscribed in public space. She identifies misogyny as structural violence—materialized in public space, perpetuated in images, and reinforced by history.“
