The F*word – Guerrilla Girls und feministisches Grafikdesign
The exhibition The F*word – Guerrilla Girls and Feminist Graphic Design draws attention to the stark underrepresentation of female designers in the Graphics and Poster Collection of the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg. Of all the works in the collection, only 1.5% were created by women. This publication brings together texts and installation views from the exhibition, providing insights into the root causes and status quo and documenting the first steps towards greater diversity through new acquisition strategies and exhibition practices.
The catalogue is published in German and English.

Sammlungsgeschichten: Islamische Kunst im Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg (1873–1915)
Collection Histories. Islamic Art at the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg (1873–1915) looks at the paths taken by works from West and Central Asia into the museum. Eleven studies illuminate the interests of the MK&G founding director Justus Brinckmann, trace his acquisitions, and look at the biographies of individual objects – including a Quran manuscript or tiles from a mausoleum in Bukhara. The focus lies on the relations of local and global networks with the history of the art market.
