Rebekka Benzenberg (*1990 in Duisburg) lives and works in Berlin and Düsseldorf. She studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and graduated under Prof. Franka Hörnschemeyer in 2020. In her artistic exploration of the history of misogyny, Benzenberg draws on motifs charged by mythology and art history and lays them bare: as symbols, as vehicles for attributions, as social explosives. Her work has been shown at Kunstpalast Düsseldorf, Bundeskunsthalle Bonn, Kunstmuseum Bonn, Weserburg Museum for Modern Art, Bremen, Kunstmuseum Mülheim and Collection Philara.
