Why do we sort out clothes? Why do we love certain items more than others? Where do my clothes end up after I put them in an old clothes container? And what is a textile tentacle? These and many other questions are answered by the exhibition "Aussortiert!", which can be seen at the Hafenmuseum Bremen from 17 May to 15 June 2025.

Starting with the process of sorting out, various possibilities are shown as to where clothing could go. The interactive and participatory design of the exhibition is intended to invite visitors to sort out their own clothes and reflect on their own approach to clothing.

What motivates a university like the University of Oldenburg? What role did protests play in its development? And how have forms of student involvement changed over the last 50 years?

The exhibition Protest.bewegt.Uni, which is being shown in the former teachers' seminar at Peterstraße 42 in Oldenburg from 10 March to 5 May 2024 to mark the university's 50th anniversary, is dedicated to these questions.

From early disputes over the naming of the university to current climate protests, the exhibition sheds light exclusively on protest cultures at the University of Oldenburg. Interviews with contemporary witnesses and numerous objects make an eventful history tangible - and encourage visitors to engage with protest, change and participation.

What actually happens when everyone just does what they want? Does the utopian idea of the 4-day week, the unconditional basic income and the perfect work-life balance work? And when does a leisure activity actually become a hobby? The exhibition "frei|zeit - Sinn und Unsinn des Hobbys", which can be seen from 19 March to 2 April 2022 at Raum auf Zeit at Staustraße 16 in Oldenburg, deals with these topics. Among other things, visitors can learn more about the historical development of hobbies, but also reflect on the extent to which leisure activities can exclude certain groups of people.

Planning and organising an exhibition completely digitally during a pandemic - can it work? The twelve students from the 2019 intake of the Master's programme "Museum and Exhibition" at the University of Oldenburg tried it out. Sorting, caring and conscious consumption: These are the three textile practices of minimalism that are explored in the digital exhibition and through which the students want to show how diverse minimalism is.

The exhibition can be viewed for a fortnight from 10 March 2021 at www.genug-ausstellung.de

Villages are everywhere in everyday life: when shopping for products in the supermarket, reading a book or playing games on your smartphone. To what extent do these representations characterise the personal 'village image'? How are they used in different media genres to create certain impressions?

These and other questions are addressed in the exhibition Fiction Village? Between Pixel and Brushstroke. Visitors will not only gain insights into different areas such as art, gaming, advertising and literature, but will also be able to actively make their own contributions to the exhibition.

Where do we get our everyday knowledge from? What knowledge do we receive, pass on or lose during our lives? How do media, people and fashions sensitise or manipulate us today, as they did in the past?

These and other questions are addressed in the 2017 exhibition of the Master's degree programme Museum and Exhibition. In a staged living situation, they link socially relevant topics with objects from the university collections in Oldenburg. You are cordially invited to scrutinise values, roles and your own world view and to contribute your opinion.
