Installation, Human Hair on Paper
Size: 400 W x 98 H x 1 D in
The collaborative work of Karin Hannak and Ilse Hirschmann "Global Curls" - Work in progress for Women's Rights Worldwide - with its former title "Global Curls for Egyptian Girls" was originally conceived as a protest against the degrading conditions in Egypt and at the same time it was intended as a support of the Egyptian women’s equality efforts. Ilse Hirschmann, the initiator, and Karin Hannak, who is essentially responsible for the concept of "Global Curls", have since developed the art project committed to women's rights globally. With their hair, as a symbol of power, women and men, too, from all over the world support the oppressed women's claim for fair and democratic conditions. At the occasion of International Women's Day 2014, „Global Curls for Egyptian Girls“ has been installed at the Cairo Opera House in 2014 after a preparing workshop at Europahaus Burgenland in Eisenstadt, Austria. In 2015 „Global Curls“ has been realized as "Work in Progress for Women's Rights Worldwide" at the Künstlerhaus Vienna in Austria.
