As a contribution to this year’s seasonal theme Heroes, Deutsche Bank, as a partner of the Berliner Philharmoniker, is showing from its collection the installation Woman* to Go by Mathilde ter Heijne. This project, begun in 2005 and continued to this day, varies the theme of heroes by focusing on forgotten “heroines” and biographies from the past.
Hundreds of different postcards are offered for free in rondels. The front of the cards feature photographs of unknown women taken between 1839 and 1920. On the backs of each are biographies from that era, but they obviously have nothing to do with the photographs. They are the biographies of unusual women from all over the world – artists, tea merchants, pirates, writers, explorers, partisans, suffragettes.
