In view of the growing threats of environmental and economic crises, the corona pandemic, and the current conflict in Ukraine, in recent years, more and more young people have been raising their voices in order to be heard. Today's youth movements have surprised and confronted those in power with valid, intelligent content and targeted action. With globally organised and sometimes radical protests, they put truly existential issues on the agenda; calling on politicians to counteract threats to their future such as the mismanagement of resources and the resulting climate problems, social inequality, and the unjust rule of law. Unfortunately, the responses they receive are often inadequate, overbearing or dismissive. There are many indications of a major generational conflict on the road to the future.
The exhibition "young rebellion" deals with the content of global youth movements and reflects their desire for social change.

In the face of growing threats from ecological crises, financial crises, the coronavirus pandemic or the current conflict in Ukraine and the associated social, political and ecological challenges, more and more young people have been raising their voices in recent years to make themselves heard. The youth movements are surprising and confronting the political elites with valid content and intelligent actions. With globally organised and sometimes radical protests, they are putting existential issues such as the use of resources, the climate problem, emancipation, equality and the rule of law on the agenda and calling on politicians to counter the threat to their future. However, the answers they receive are often inadequate, arrogant or dismissive. On the road to the future, there are many signs of a major conflict between the generations.
The "young rebellion" exhibition explores the content of global youth movements and reflects their desire for social change.
