The Stiftung Historische Museen Hamburg will cue historical references to the topic with three exhibitions. Macht Mittel Geld, the exhibition at the Museum für Hamburgische Geschichte, will approach "currency" literally through the museum’s significant inventory of coins that reflect particular aspects of colonial history. Coins and banknotes were an expression of colonial power, and not merely the conventional means of exchange for the economy.
Titled Strike!, the Museum der Arbeit will present a photographic history of pivotal labour struggles from the 1960s until the present moment. Through a selection of images – for example press photography – the exhibition will lens on the awareness and solidarity that were spread through the visual repository of these labour struggles, affecting at once those involved andtrade unions’ self-perception. |
