How are you practicing what you preach?

“How are you practicing what you preach—whatever you preach, and who is exactly listening?”
— Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches.

Inspired by Audre Lorde’s powerful inquiry, the VBKÖ 2025/2026 program “How are you practicing what you preach” has explored the intersections of creative expression, activism, and community-building, fostering dialogue and transformative practices. As part of the members’ program, this exhibition features a vibrant showcase of zines, publications, merch, and video work by VBKÖ members, alongside a collaborative zine created with Contemporary Matters.

Join us in celebrating the power of creativity and the myriad ways we manifest our beliefs, practices, and passions, shaping the world through their ripple effects.
