Artists

Sylvie Fleury, Shamiran Istifan

Press release

Two Swiss artists will engage in a compelling dialogue inspired by Sylvie Fleury's work She-Devils on Wheels – Headquarters (1997) from the museum's collection. This powerful, emancipatory work confronts the exclusion of women from certain spheres of life. By founding her own feminist automobile club, Fleury asserts a bold statement of self-empowerment and independence. 

Displayed for the first time in 20 years, the Fleury's oeuvre will resonate with new works by Shamiran Istifan, who explores cultural codes in everyday life, feminist narratives passed down by women through generations, and questions of class and belonging. Together, their works create a vibrant conversation between feminist perspectives from the 1990s and today.
