Metabolism in the Women's Museum: How FASTHION FASTED WOMEN!

The women's museum in Hittisau is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and striving to make the current challenges of women visible. The director Stefania Pitscheider Soraperra explained that the ongoing exhibition "Fabric/Change" takes a critical look at the effects of the "Fast Fashion" industry. An urgent video by the Danish director Martin de Thurah shows how a young woman throws away in Berlin T-shirts and thus illustrates the problem of a throw-away company. The exhibition, which was created in cooperation with the Wiener Mak, not only offers visual content, but also stimulates interaction, such as through a feeling of feelings with different types of fabric, which is supposed to stimulate thinking about sustainable consumption habits. This concept testifies to the important role of art, which not only stimulate reflection, but can also illuminate complex social issues, as Pitscheider emphasizes Soraperra, as Vorarlberg.Af reported.

culture and social commitment

The Hittisau women's museum has always campaigned for the linking of culture with social and political action. It should be a space of discourse and the argument on which invisible topics are made accessible to a broader public. Over 45 exhibitions have been carried out in the past 25 years that covered a wide range of women-specific topics-from women's alping history to artistic contributions from talented women. For the 20th anniversary, the topic of birth culture is now being highlighted, which has both historical and physiological effects and questions the ideologies around the birth, as well as topic Vorvarlberg.at reported.

With a committed team of around twenty cultural mediators who come for various backgrounds, the museum remains a lively and integrative place. Here it is lived that women have a story and that their voices should be heard. These approaches show how the Hittisau women's museum repeatedly opens up new perspectives through art and culture and thus reinforces its influence on social awareness.
