To the exhibition
For the first time, the exhibition presents four international, award-winning artists - Hannah Brinkmann, Tobias Dahmen, Nora Krug and Birgit Weyhe - who illuminate history with the means of graphic storytelling. The focus is on fateful lives that remind us that the past is part of our present and illustrate how important democracy is.
The show presents original drawings, sketches and research material. It also illustrates the aesthetically very different approaches and makes the creation process of the comics and the possibilities of graphic narratives visible. A multifaceted supporting and educational program accompanies the exhibition.
The exhibition is curated by Jakob Hoffmann and is being shown on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of May 8 at the end of the Second World War. Prof. Dr. Aleida Assmann is the patron of the exhibition.
It is supported by the Kulturfonds Frankfurt RheinMain, Demokratie leben in Wiesbaden and the Heinrich Böll Foundation.
In cooperation with the Jewish Community Wiesbaden, Spiegelbild e.V., Buchhandlung Vaternahm, sensor Wiesbaden, Klingspor Museum Offenbach and Turm zur Katz/Konstanz.
