People live in a class society in which not everyone has
the same opportunities for personal development. Social mobility is possible,
but strongly influenced by family resources. Economic, social and cultural
capital determine the reality of life for all of us - for some this results in
privileges, for others in discrimination.

KEY VISUAL Gläserne Barrieren
People who have changed class, move
often between adaptation and exposure. The class can be revealed by language,
movement, gestures and confidence, because many parts of society are still
influenced by classism. Furthermore it is difficult to change class and talk
about experiences of changing classes and exclusion. To what extent does an
examination of class and classism take place in the visual arts?
The exhibition shows artworks that deal with class and
classism and the feelings of inner turmoil, shame and loss that can come with
changing to a presumed “better” class, as well as practices of appropriation
and self-empowerment. “Class-crossers” move between two worlds and develop a “multi-layered
habitus”.
The visitors are encouraged to question their own
class background. What privileges do you have when visiting the exhibition? Are
you a “class-crosser” and are you aware of your class affiliation?
