As part of the Gabriele Münter Prize 2025, works by the artist Hoda Tawakol will be shown at the Museum Gunzenhauser from 27 September to 16 November 2025. The Egyptian-French artist is one of the six finalists. The winner is the artist Parastou Forouhar, who was born in Tehran in 1962 and lives in Germany.
Hoda Tawakol is one of the artists creating a work of art for the PURPLE PATH art and sculpture trail. Her sculpture "Delicious Monster", which deals with the local textile industry, will be unveiled in Limbach-Oberfrohna in autumn 2025. In her work, the artist explores identity, femininity and cultural tradition. Her works, often made of textiles, deconstruct and expand the representation of the feminine by combining protection, resistance and longing.
The Gabriele Münter Prize is the only art prize in Europe that honours outstanding achievements by female visual artists aged 40 and over. It aims to strengthen the positions of female artists living in Germany. The prize is named after the painter Gabriele Münter (1877 - 1962), one of the most important female artists of modernism.
