Glitter sparkles and shimmers; it fascinates and provokes outrage. Glitter is omnipresent and can be found on stages as well as on protest posters and in children's rooms. The exhibition focuses on glitter as a symbol of belonging, empowerment, and self-determination. The exhibition also explores the use of glitter in collective and political movements as well as in everyday life.
