For her two solo exhibitions in 2025 — Immer laut zu sagen, was ist und ich will (Always to Say Aloud, What Is and What I Want) at Berlin Artistic Research Programme and Die Antwort lautet: NEIN (The Answer is: NO) at alpha nova & galerie futura — Luise Schröder used her artist publication Strömungen in Bewegung (Currents in Motion) as a starting point to explore how an artist publication can be transfered into spatial dimensions. Therefore she translated key methods of her artistic research into the exhibition space and the public realm. Both exhibitions were accompanied by a book launch and a discursive programme. They created opportunities for reflection, dialogue, and engagement with historical voids in the documentation and remembrance of the independent women’s and lesbian movement in the GDR.
