A piece of fabric forms the focus of this exhibition. It is much older than Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Long before the birth of these religions, a headscarf denoted social differences in ancient Mesopotamia - and its absence women's sexual vulnerability. Today, it lies before us weighed down with countless meanings. And far too often it still represents a man's word on a woman's body. The fabric that pious women use to cover their head, their face and frequently also their entire body whips up feelings. But the commandment that women cover their hair has been part of European civilisation for centuries. Its history stretches from the beginnings of Christianity until today. Some Muslim girls and young women are forced to veil themselves when meeting someone who is not a member of their family because men would otherwise regard them as sinful and 'available'; others, however, create a kind of street-wear look that is both colourful and cheeky, sexy and demure. In Iran, female activists with loose hair take up positions at busy crossings and wave their headscarf in the air as a sign of protest, while in the West female designers revive the fashions of the 1950s and include vintage headscarves in their collections. 'Modest fashion' is the name of a fashion trend that focuses on showing less flesh; it has evolved into a worldwide billiondollar-business irrespective of a particular religion. Queen Elisabeth II still sports an Hermès headscarf as a kind of 'personal branding ' and not only when she is out riding. The Weltmuseum Wien presents seventeen independent position on the headscarf, designed to broaden our view of this small piece of fabric by highlighting novel (and perhaps even unexpected) aspects.
