Small Puppets – Strong Women

Community Project accompanying the exhibition Defiance: Jewish Women and Design in the Modern Era (in German)

The  Small Puppets – Strong Women workshop brought together women from different backgrounds. They created heroine dolls of their mothers, aunts and other relatives, and told stories about the struggles they faced in their lives.

The workshop is part of the community program accompa­nying the exhibition Defiance: Jewish Women and Design in the Modern Era.
