"KRIEGSSOCKEN UND PEACEMAKERINNEN"
"Los hombres hacen la guerra, hacen que unas mujeres contribuyan y callan a las que quieren la paz"

Patriotic women and girls from all countries involved in the First World War knitted socks for their soldiers as a way to contribute to victory with these gifts of love. In the spring of 1915 - nine months after the beginning of the Great War - pacifist feminists from the United States and all countries, involved in the war, met in The Hague to stop the war. Some weeks earlier socialist women had had a conference in Bern. They all developed programs for peace but their voices were not heard.

With our exhibition - a hundred years after these women's peace conferences - artists, knitters and sewers, activists and scientists from all over the world, who want to overcome existing borders, are invited to reflect on present and past conflicts. At the center of the exhibition are creations and interpretations of artists working through painting, photography, textile art and installations on topics of war and peace related to conflicts within their societies. "Objects of Resistance" from the museum's collection and biographies of women from the region and elsewhere are the starting points for "talks in the museum", informal gatherings and literary events (soirees).
