Being a Girl*!? From Panel Painting to Social Media
What motivates girls today and what role models have been handed down to us from the past? Contemporary art often deals with images of girls in socially motivated themes: Coming of age, self-optimisation tendencies – often in interaction with social media – fluid genders, issues of diversity, interculturality and inclusion.
In addition to early representational portraits and images of saints, female children and adolescents appear throughout the ages as models of artists or as an expression of blossoming life in conflict with transience. In nine thematic circles, the exhibition moves towards the era of digital transformation along several intermediate
temporal stages.
With over 150 art works by international artists, the exhibition attempts to analyse and break up the current situation by referring back to modes of representation from earlier times. By taking the initiative, girls show the world who they really are!
