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.

Julia Meer studied communication design and holds a doctorate in design history. Together with Gerda Breuer, she published the book „Women in Graphic Design 1890-2012“ and has been head of the Graphics and Poster Collection at the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg since 2020.

Tulga Beyerle is director of the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe (MK&G) in Hamburg since late 2018. With a background in design, she was a freelance design curator from 2001 to 2013. From 2007 to 2013 she was co-director of the Vienna Design Week and form 2014 to 2018 director of the Kunstgewerbemuseum, part of the State Collection Dresden.
