Event focuses on respectful conduct

Wassup, peeps! Let's chat about how we can get along, shall we? Last Wednesday, the "Respect - An Exhibition about Diversity" kicked off at the Museum of Labor. It delves into questions about how we can coexist respectfully.

Running until April 12, 2026, this rad exhibition called "Respect - An Exhibition about Diversity" is happening at the Museum of Labor in Hamburg. The DASA Arbeitswelt Ausstellung in Dortmund has designed this badass exhibit as a traveling show. It's tailored for younglings and young adults, inviting them to tackle questions about self-identity, devaluation, and equal rights. The main focus is on fostering discussions about respectful interactions – in school, training, and entering the workforce[1][3][5].

Interactive ways to more openness and acceptance

Using 20 engaging stations collaboratively developed with teenagers from Dortmund, the exhibit offers visitors a chance to reflect on various issues and different communication formats – from illustrative graphics and video clips to group discussions[1][3][5]. The aim is to give visitors tools and strategies for communicating respectfully, accepting differences, and challenging their own biases. The exhibit isn't just another story, but an invitation to think, feel, and engage in group problem-solving, as Carsten Brosda (SPD), Senator for Culture and Media, put it[2].

Alongside the exhibit, various free workshops have been planned like the "Talking to Each Other... about Real Life Racism" workshop and the "Respect" writing workshop. Interested parties can book these events through the Museum Service in Hamburg[4].

Marie Hamann

Born in 2003, Marie Hamann knows the beginning of Kafka's "Metamorphosis" by heart – she feels super connected to the author. This native Hamburger loves gettin' lost in books and often roams around theaters and museums. Her internship at the Bucerius Kunst Forum's communications department she describes as a truly awesome experience. After bagging a Bachelor's in Communication Design in Hamburg, she decided to deepen her skills in communication, eventually considering public relations for cultural institutions in the future. With her love for art and language, Marie sees beauty in life – right in the spirit of Franz Kafka, who said, "Anyone who learns to recognize the beautiful will never grow old."Küz: Marie Hamann
