"Faith travels by streetcar"
Special exhibition
How do faith, norms and everyday objects relate to each other? Does religious belief necessarily mean a restriction of freedom?
Looking at the rules and conventions in the monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam - as well as secular beliefs, the exhibition presents a selection of such objects in combination with texts by academics from various disciplines: sociology, philosophy, Arabic studies, Islamic studies, Jewish studies and Protestant theology.
Both religious and secular normative practices that structure and regulate public and private life require the use of certain objects.
The objects on display can be assigned to the contexts of "food", "clothing and fashion" and "children's toys and education". They bear witness to the fact that rules and norms that restrict the freedom of the individual exist in all societies, but are constantly being questioned, renegotiated and changed.
