More than 200 artists paint an exceptionally diverse picture of this chapter of art history that remained largely undiscovered until recently, and which has a significant impact on contemporary gender discourse. <i style="">Gender Check</i> follows the shifts and changes in the representation of male and female role models in art, taking a particular look at how they developed under different socio-political conditions. The exhibition depicts the interrelationship
between art and history, taking both a chronological and thematic approach. Curator: Bojana Pejiæ.</span></p>
