Press Release
Re: 2nd International Congress of the Women’s Museums in Bonn/Germany
September 9th - 12th, 2009
The conference, from September 9th to 12th 2009, was attended by 60 women managers, women curators and foundresses of the women’s museums worldwide and by an equal number of representatives of different museums from the whole of Germany.
About 500 guests already flooded the big opening on September 9th, 2009 – visibly multicultural. The work of the South Tyrolean artist Brigitte Niedermaier „woman!” formed the beginning of the exhibition „Women’s Museums Worldwide“, an exhibition of women’s museums about themselves. Last year in Merano, the photographer had taken a photo of the participants of the different women’s museums and now her work forms the prelude of this exhibition.
The atmosphere of the conference was productive, communicative & cordial.
The most important decisions:
1. Foundation of a global coordination committee of delegates from each continent.
Africa: - Omima Mustafa, Sudanese Women’s Museum, Omdurman/Sudan
- Maria Diatta, Musée de la Femme, Island Gorée/Senegal
Asia: - Ki Young-in, feminist art group (association which presently runs the Women’s History Exhibition Hall/Seoul/Korea)
Australia: - Helen Jaraslafsky, National Pioneer Women’s Hall of Fame/Australia
South America: - Graciela Tejero Coni, Museo de la Mujer, Buenos Aires/Argentina
Europe: - Astrid Schönweger, Women’s Museum, Merano/Italy
- Bettina Bab, Women’s Museum, Bonn/Germany
Besides, Astrid Schönweger of the Women’s Museum / Merano is the official speaker of the network and is responsible for public relation and fundraising. The committee prepares the statutes of the global association of the women’s museums.
2. The next conference takes place in Argentina in 2010
A worldwide association of the women’s museums will be founded in Buenos Aires; and the question of an own section “women’s museums” within the international museum association, ICOM, will be discussed there.
3. The first joint exhibition of the women’s museums worldwide
“Idols - Role Models – Heroines” will be presented in the Danish women’s museum after November 11, 2009, and then in the Austrian women museums of Vienna and Hittisau. In 2011, the exhibition will be shown in the Women’s Museum Merano in Italy.
4. Solidarity demonstration with the Iranian women’s museum
Unfortunately, the foundation directress Mansouréh Shojaiee was not allowed to leave the country, hence, the conference members decided to send her a Letter of Solidarity signed by all the attendees.
