As a result of our bachelor thesis about gender sensitivity within the German language, we developed a participatory pop-up exhibition. It invites the visitors to approach this rather controversial topic, contribute their own opinions, and experiment with formulations that take everyone into account.
In collaboration with Johanna Manz / Bachelorthesis at HfG SchwƤbisch GmĆ¼nd, DE

Gender-sensitive language is not only about making women visible but also about including non-binary people linguistically. Whether we need a fairer language or not is being discussed for some years now and often results in heated debates. Not everyone is equally informed, and prejudices make it harder to find a fair solution. The pop-up exhibition āMitgemeint ā Jeder meint nicht alleā opens up this discourse.

In collaboration with the Trustmaking project the teenagers will create a āfarm to forkā dinner at Zukunftshof Wien, where they showcase their skills and dishes they personally relate to. While dining, the guests' viewpoints will be challenged through experiencing the studentsā speculations sensorly.
Stimulated through food and new thoughts, the participants should go home with new questions about what they, and especially what the youth wants and how that impacts the future.
