Flags, Textile, Wood
50 x 150 cm
The flags pay homage to the gaps in our collective memory, featuring quotes from two politically active women in Freiburg - Marie Moritz and Elisabeth Seitz. A significant void within the flag symbolizes forgotten and yet-to-be-discovered narratives, while also showcasing the words of these remarkable women who have indelibly impacted history. This flag signifies the gaps within stories where women and their contributions are frequently disregarded, serving as a poignant reminder that each of these voids presents an opportunity to bring overlooked tales to light and integrate them into our collective memory. The flags serve as powerful objects of remembrance and an appropriation of historiography, commemorating the dedication and work of these influential women who have left enduring imprints on history.
The flags were an integral part of the performance 'This Is What We Came For' within the context of Das Lied der Straße - Biennale für Freiburg 2.
