With immersive scenography and numerous multimedia devices, this committed exhibition confronts the public with their own representations. At the crossroads of anthropology, biology, economics, sociology and history, and based on the latest discoveries, it examines the phenomena of racialisation and demonstrates that racism is a social construct.
The show "Veiled, Unveiled! The Headscarf" at Vienna's Weltmuseum (World Museum) puts headscarf diversity on display. "The goal of the exhibition is to reveal the transformations that the headscarf has undergone and that have been forgotten, repressed or those that are simply unknown," Steinmann said.
The purpose of this website is to offer a guide to both general public and researchers of the museums of European political and violence, what content they offer and the topics that are not sufficiently represented. This website wants to help us to rethink the realities, shortcomings and possibilities of Public History in Europe.
