»What’s classy if you’re rich, but trashy if you’re poor?«

The installation »Fashionshow: Working Class Daughters« deals with the experiences of class and classism. Karolina Dreit, Kristina Dreit and Anna Trzpis-McLean examine structures of inequality and their subtle constraints (how one talks, what one wears…). How are habitus and taste interwoven with one’s own life story? In fictional conversations that never have, but could have taken place in this way, biographical, personal and structural dimensions of class are made audible and visible. An invitation to listen together sitting on dismantled car seats.

»Working Class Daughters« is a cycle that Karolina Dreit, Kristina Dreit and Anna Trzpis-McLean have been working on together since 2018. Their work focuses on interviews. They develop performances, installations and audio pieces seeking to take on an empowering and (self-)critical perspective on class. Based on their own post-migration experiences coming from the East and a long friendship and sisterhood, their interest lies in the entanglements of class with gender/queerness and migration, as well as historical and present-day references to labor and labor conflicts. Since 2018, Kristina and Karolina Dreit have been conducting interviews with working class daughters of different generations. Together with the group EmanzenExpress (Julia Nitschke and Eva Busch), they are currently working on pleb-lesbians and the pleb-lesbian groups that were founded in Berlin and Bochum at the end of the 1980s.
