| Exhibition and associated activities: | Retrospective, back to the future. 1989-2019-2030 / RÜCK BLICK NACH VORNE. 1989-2019-2030 |
| Description: | This exhibition uses the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Women in One World as an opportunity to ask questions:
1) How do globalization processes affect women in the South and in the North?
2) How can we work together for social justice and peace across cultural borders and social conflicts?
The exhibition incorporates a variety of artistic media. Artworks by contemporary artists communicate with traditional clay and wickerwork and with embroidery and weaving textiles from protest and human rights movements. They all converge to give a starting point for reflections on remembrance, protest and resistance against human rights crimes, loss of homeland, globalization, robbery of intangible cultural assets and environmental destruction.
As part of the three-day international conference programme, curator Roberta Bacic will facilitate a Conflict Textiles workshop, 10 years after her initial collaboration with "Women in One World", through the exhibition Schicksalsfäden: Geschichten in Stoff von Gewalt, Hoffen und Überleben / Threads of destiny: Testimonies of violence, hope and survival, (2009). In this three-hour session, participants will focus on the exhibition themes through engaging with archival photos from Women in One World collection, alongside arpilleras and arpillera dolls from Conflict Textiles material and online collection. In this 'hands on' space, they will be invited to make an arpillera doll, which will enable them to more deeply connect with, and reflect on, the core issues emerging from the textiles and photos, within the overall context of the key questions posed by the exhibition team.
