The supersized pink baseball cap of the sculpture "B-Girls, Go!" refers to hip-hop and street

culture—key reference points for Maruša Sagadin whose sculptural and architectural work is

shaped by her confrontation with pop culture, gender, and language. The cap is mounted on a

purple wooden decking, which creates a kind of stage. The aim is to encourage girls, women,

and those who identify as female to take up space and make the stage their own. Accordingly,

the artist is also asking questions about the visibility of and areas provided for women in public

spaces. Since 2021, Sagadin’s participative sculpture has been used as a venue for community

activities and also as a meeting point and place to hang out.
