Childhood in Transition
Info
TOURDATA
Roseggerstraße 44, 8670 Krieglach
The exhibition highlights the diverse facets of childhood – from upbringing, education, and play to work, nutrition, and medical care – and shows how childhood has changed over generations. Educational focuses differed for girls and boys even within their social class. Bourgeois boys were trained for their roles as providers and protectors of the family, while girls were prepared for their duties as mothers, wives, and homemakers. This began at a young age with the provision of gender-specific toys. "A look into children's eyes is a journey into the past. Often, we wish for our children to have a childhood like the one we experienced ourselves. But the world is changing. The exhibition takes us back to the time of Peter Rosegger and presents the everyday life of that era in a slightly romanticized and humorous way. Topics such as clothing, medicine, nutrition, and education reflect the changes that children experienced then and now. It is particularly exciting to see how childhood has evolved over generations," says director Marko Mele about the exhibition.
Curator Russ-Panhofer: "The history of childhood is inseparably linked to Peter Rosegger. He not only engaged intensively with upbringing, schooling, and the neglect of children but also made suggestions on how to do it better. The exhibition illuminates childhood in all its facets – then and now. It shows the changes and challenges that children face in the digital world. Perhaps it also encourages us to pause and consider how far digitalization should go."
