Herstory Museum is an imaginary museum created by the artist to create sets of images that, focused on artists and creators of the past, offer an alternative art history. On this occasion Acha-Kutscher presents a new series entitled Permission de Travestissement (2020) in reference to the ordinance that allowed 19th century Parisian women to dress as men on certain occasions. The installation brings together portraits, quotes and works by artists who have appropriated the symbols of power traditionally associated with masculinity in a gesture of emancipation and of claiming the right to their own image.
