Courage : des sœurs en esprit (Courage: Sisters in Spirit)

In Magdalena Jetelová's The Continuation of Endgame (1996), a couple dances in a living room beside a fitted kitchen while the others sit and watch. It comes from the collection of the GDR's Centre for Art Exhibitions, whose staff used to select and buy work at this gallery, and whose purchases left women underrepresented.

The reopening show flips that: all eight artists are women. Jetelová, Eva Vent and Gundula Schulze Eldowy, from that old collection now held by the ifa, hang alongside contemporaries from Eastern Europe. Lesia Pcholka joined the protests in Belarus, served a prison sentence and now lives in exile in Berlin. Luise Schröder works from years of research into East German feminist groups.

You can walk in off Kastanienallee without a ticket: entry is free, and the whole show is on the ground floor. It is open Wednesday to Monday, 12:00 to 20:00. The curators lead free tours on 11 November and 16 December at 18:00, no booking needed.
