Touring exhibition
"With boldness and confidence"
Historical posters on 8 March and women's suffrage
The exhibition shows reprints of historical posters that address International Women's Day and women's suffrage. 27 boards of posters covering the historical period from 1906 to the present have been compiled. What is exciting and interesting, as demonstrated well here, is how a historically constantly changing image of women is deployed and used in the respective context. The exhibition is a wonderful visual textbook demonstrating the use of clichés and role models from the beginning of the 20th century to the present. It is also interesting to note the different use of the images in the two German states after the war, in which the instrumentalisation of the politically chosen images of women and their context can be clearly seen.
Overall, by accessing the changing image of women, the exhibition provides a good introduction to the discussion and evaluation of the historical processes and updates that are currently politically required of the significance of these two women's historical focal points for the realities of life in our society, also and especially for women.
The exhibition is rounded off by means of a reader containing an accompanying text on the aim and message, and in which the individual posters with their historical and design background are discussed.
