What Clothing Tells About Violence, Power, and Prejudice
The traveling exhibition What I Wore... brings an intense, socially highly relevant art experience to the New Gallery in Höhmannhaus from September 13 to September 27, 2026. It features clothing items with personal stories from twelve women who have experienced sexualized violence. The exhibition firmly opposes victim blaming and makes visible how stubborn prejudices additionally burden those affected. Augsburg is the 70th stop on the tour; admission is free.

An Exhibition Space Between Empathy and Enlightenment
The presentation does not rely on distance, but on immediate engagement with the works: clothing becomes a silent witness, a material trace of experience, memory, and vulnerability. It is this reduced form that unfolds a great aesthetic and emotional impact. The historical nature of the place meets a present that urgently needs enlightenment.

A Topic of Artistic Educational and Societal Urgency
Alongside the exhibition, there is a diverse educational program with lectures, workshops, and informational and discussion offers. Content focuses include offender work, drug-induced incapacitation, rape myths, as well as prevention and victim protection work. This makes the exhibition a place of cultural education, where museum pedagogy and social responsibility come together.
