The challenge

Creating a formative, staged framework for the topic of equal rights.

Our approach

ON THE NEW EXHIBITION AREA OF AROUND 900 SQUARE METRES, THE VISITORS‘ PATH PRESENTS A LIVELY GRAPHIC DESIGN THAT GIVES THE PIONEERS AN UP-TO-DATE PRESENCE.

The exhibition is divided into five connecting galleries that highlight the different phases. The colour scheme marks the thematic areas, which reconstruct the difficult path to equality as chronological chapters. To illustrate the different, sometimes controversial ideas within the women‘s movement, the individual galleries are presented by three illustrated activists and their positions.

FACT FIELDS AND FRANKFURT WINDOWS EXPLAIN THE CONTEXT SCENOGRAPHICALLY.

The former draw attention to the present time with a clever presentation of dates, while the latter trace the city as the scene of the battle of the sexes. The last chapter is located at a fork in the road: one path leads into a narrow dead-end street, which gives an idea of the repressions of the Nazi era. The other path leads to interactive stations that invite visitors to participate and reflect.
