“The founder of GEDOK, Ida Dehmel (1870–1942), was an outstanding female figure at the beginning of the 20th century. She brought together people from a wide variety of artistic fields in numerous salons. She pursued the goal of promoting and achieving equality for female artists with great dedication. Thanks to the voluntary commitment of many people interested in art, GEDOK is now the largest and most traditional interdisciplinary organization for female artists in Europe. GEDOK will celebrate its centenary in 2026 with great pride. The 23 regional groups of GEDOK that exist today are organizing a wide variety of events throughout Germany as part of this anniversary. GEDOKmuc has big plans for 2026 to celebrate this anniversary in style. Numerous exhibitions at the galerieGEDOKmuc, concerts, and readings will be featured in the event program on our website starting in March 2026. In cooperation with the Department of Culture of the City of Munich, a large-scale exhibition at several locations from March to the end of June 2026 will not only celebrate history, but also highlight how visible, vibrant, diverse, and powerful the artistic positions of women are today. But even in the 21st century, female artists are confronted with questions of gender, equal pay, and the male gaze. What has changed in 100 years? The exhibitions “Visible. Connected. Free.” focus on artistic creation, visibility, connection, and the courage to push boundaries.” https://gedok-muc.de/jubilaum
