As Austria’s only women’s museum, FH brings essential expertise at the intersection of gender, memory, and contemporary art. Its curatorial and institutional practice is rooted in feminist pedagogy and participatory approaches, often developed in collaboration with contemporary artists. Through its award-winning interdisciplinary work, the museum connects historical research with artistic expression to explore underrepresented narratives and reimagine forms of women’s agency. Addressing contemporary social challenges such as care, peace, justice, and sustainability through a gendered lens, FH contributes a unique and impactful methodology to the project’s broader goals of cultural justice and inclusive memory. https://www.frauenmuseum.at/

Since the founding of Frauen in der Einen Welt in 1989, and the Museum Museum Frauenkultur Regional – International, established in 2006, one focus was on women's biographies of resistance—during National Socialism and in broader struggles for human rights and democracy. An essential part of our collections is narrative textiles created from individual and collective resistance movements, as well as traveling exhibitions that connect the results of our research internationally. https://www.frauenindereinenwelt.de/

Since 2008, IAWM has promoted cooperation and exchange between women's museums around the world to give voice to women from different cultural and socio-political backgrounds. Its global perspective is reflected in exhibitions that highlight women's struggles and achievements, fostering solidarity and collective action. The network and its museums advocate for inclusive curation and representation, intersectional approaches, interactive exhibitions, digital engagement, and institutional self-examination.  IAWM has established itself as a hub of expertise: connecting museums, amplifying women’s stories, and promoting gender-sensitive policies in cultural heritage and remembrance. https://www.iawm.international/

H401 is a private cultural foundation based in the former home of Gisèle d’Ailly van Waterschoot van der Gracht, who sheltered Jewish youth during the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam. Through research, artistic practice, exhibitions, and public programmes, H401 promotes inclusive dialogue and social change. WONDER will coincide with H401’s reopening following renovations, using guided tours, lectures, workshops, and dialogue circles to contextualise Gisèle’s resistance and connect her story to broader histories of women’s resistance, memory, and civic engagement. https://h401.org/
