EVENT LANGUAGE: GERMAN.
The German artist Anke Feuchtenberger has always devoted her drawing work to fundamental feminist questions: about the structural conditions of our society that determine gender relations, passion(s), and desire; about the manifold starting points and localizations of violence; and centrally about the possibilities of – or rather a feminist – narrative.
Groundbreaking publications include Mutterkuchen (1995) and Das Haus (2000), and especially the trilogy Die hure h (1996-2007), which Anke Feuchtenberger wrote together with the writer Katrin de Vries and which tells of (violent) constructions of femininity and power relations. In the fall of 2023, Genossin Kuckuck will be published, an autobiographical work in which Anke Feuchtenberger once again deals with violence and draws a world full of the most diverse beings – beyond the human.
On the occasion of VIENNA ART WEEK, Anke Feuchtenberger is a guest at the Sigmund Freud Museum Vienna, where an insight into her work will be given in the context of the ongoing exhibition Narrating Violence. A Comic exhibition (from Oct. 20). The conversation, led by Marina Rauchenbacher, the curator of the exhibition, will take a look at various aspects of her works and – along the exhibition – will be particularly dedicated to the theme of violence.
From 6 pm the exhibition is open to registered guests with free admission!
Anke Feuchtenberger was born in 1963 in Berlin (GDR), studied at the Berlin Academy of Art and has been teaching at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences in the Department of Design since 1997. In 2020 she received the Max and Moritz Award for her life’s work.
Marina Rauchenbacher is a literature and cultural studies scholar, currently working at the Institute for Cultural Management and Gender Studies (IKM) at the University of Music and Performing Arts (mdw) and at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. She researches and teaches on German-language literature, comics, gender studies, and visual cultures, among other topics.

Sigmund Freud Museum
Vienna IX, Berggasse 19. This is the address where Sigmund Freud lived and worked for 47 years until he was forced to flee from the Nazi regime in 1938. In 1971 , the Sigmund Freud Museum was founded here, and after extensive renovation and expansion reopened in 2020. Three permanent exhibitions in Freud’s former living and office rooms, an art presentation in the Showroom Berggasse 19 as well as special exhibitions present Freud’s multi-layered cultural legacy: they are dedicated to his life and work, the development of psychoanalysis in theory and practice, and its importance for the fields of society, science, and art. The history of the house at Berggasse 19 and the fates of its occupants are also brought into focus.
