Dollhaus



My bachelor thesis Dollhaus - Geschlechterkonflikte zum Kuschuscheln offers a playful and humorous approach to some gender problem areas such as the gender bias, the gender gap or the "glass ceiling" by means of seven handmade cloth dolls. The dolls have names, short biographies and corresponding "Reality Check" clips, which bring the respective gender conflict to the point. In addition, there is background information on the respective topics. In summary, Dollhaus was originally on a flash animated website, which is now offline. Instead, the dolls and their stories can now be seen here (desktop-version). The basic forms of the dolls make the gender recognizable, but do not use any stereotypes.
