We are born with a genetic code that we can’t change. But with our dress code we can either underline our difference or demonstrate our solidarity with a group. We can show religious distinction by wearing symbols, ethnic difference in our hairstyle and dress.
During the Anne Frank Cultural Weeks in Bochum (D), Mrs. Gudelius and 23 or her pupils in the 9th class of the Anne-Frank-Realschule (Secondary Modern) took part in a workshop of mine (the artist Tanya Ury).
For this workshop held on the 3rd November 2006, during the Anne-Frank Cultural Weeks in Bochum, Germany, each pupil was to design his or her own T‑Shirt logo that should define a personal worldview or on the other hand could disagree with a certain position.
In the video interviews the teenagers talk about their motivation.
