The American artist Suzanne Lacy (*1945 in Wasco/California) is regarded as a pioneer of socially engaged performance art. Since the 1970s, she has collaborated with diverse communities on projects and interventions addressing gender equality, violence against women, racism, immigration, and workers’ rights. For the project Uncertain Futures, Lacy worked with Manchester Art Gallery, university academics, an advisory group and more than 100 women in Manchester, UK, from 2019 to 2024 to develop interviews, workshops, and presentations examining the inequalities faced by women over 50 in relation to work and unemployment. Bringing together a range of stories that highlight experiences of intersectional disadvantage, the video installation produced as part of this project will be shown in Germany for the first time at Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.).
