In a bizarre twist to the ongoing gender debate, a museum in Australia is fighting to keep its latest exhibition as women only – by becoming a ‘church’.
This is after a court ordered that men should be allowed entry under anti-discrimination laws. Tasmania’s Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) has appealed the ruling.
Artist Kirsha Kaechele says she will challenge the verdict by making the space ‘compliant’ with regulations. She plans to turn the velvet-clad lounge into a women’s toilet that would be ‘the greatest toilet, and men won’t be allowed to see it’.
