“Focusing on queer and feminist practices, LUCKY combines an international exhibition and an extensive program of events composed of performances, film screenings, workshops, and panel discussions.
The curatorial team seeks to problematize the call to ›make your own luck‹ and its latent neoliberal fiction of self-made individualism, while still honoring the joy of chance and the auspicious occasion of the unexpected. The project will challenge the mythology of luck and trace the ways it obscures and rearranges privilege. Labor, as an expression of will, is seemingly all one needs to succeed: hard work will lead to success, but success once realized is sometimes passed off as lucky coincidence. These old narratives actively render historical and structural oppression invisible in physical, digital, and spiritual spaces.” (Excerpt from the press release by courtesy of nGbK & COVEN BERLIN)
