cherished condolences

exhibition, communication / interactive design, master project 2022 / 23

"cherished condolences" is an exhibition concept about the role of women* in society, with a visual expression about the true emotional state of women* being suppressed by society's expectations.

to represent, how women* truly feel, the exhibits are based on five out of the six basic emotions every human being has - sadness, fear, anger, surprise and happiness. 

even tho the "trümmerfrauen" changed the classical roles of women* in the society through their impactful work after the second world war in germany, the americanization and westernization in the 1950s had the bigger influence and led back to the typical way women* were treated by the society. because of this, "cherished condolences" is inspired by iconic female personalities from the 50s, who still have an impact on women* nowadays.
