War and Propaganda 14/18
& collect
2014 sees the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War. The Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg takes this opportunity to turn its attention to showing the methods of modern mass propaganda and how they work. For the first time all the belligerents systematically made use of the new technological possibilities of influencing public opinion by means of modern media. Against the background of the research into mass psychology taking place at the same time, strategies of communication and artistic expression were developed which had a decisive influence on the duration and intensity of the First World War at an international level. What were the conditions and the strategies which made people pledge themselves to serve such a disastrous cause? “War and Propaganda 14/18” follows various thematic lines which repeatedly also point towards the present day and which raise fundamental questions concerning the social significance of the mass media. “War and Propaganda 14/18” aims to promote a critical discussion about the media which questions the credibility of the images they present and shows their inherent power to channel opinion in the direction they want. “War and Propaganda 14/18” shows more than 400 exhibits, including posters and graphic work by artists, postcards with paintings and photographs, magazines and newspapers, sculptures and objects of everyday life such as children’s toys or patriotic emblems. Historical film and audio recordings as well as music from the period of the First World War are further important aspects of the exhibition. This exhibition was made possible by funding from the exhibition fund of the Hamburg Department of Culture, the Hubertus Wald Stiftung as well as the Justus Brinckmann Gesellschaft.
