Sonderausstellung "Breaking the Surface - Frauen in der Meeresforschung"
In the organizer's words:
Outstanding achievements by renowned women in marine research have long remained hidden. A special exhibition starting on July 25, 2025 at the International Maritime Museum Hamburg will provide exciting insights into the creative power of these women scientists until the end of the year.
Motto: "Breaking the Surface. Women in marine research." Loosely translated: Not remaining on the surface, but venturing into unknown spaces of the oceans, actually going into the depths. The focus on deck 7 is on eleven contemporary German women researchers. These are impressive examples of how women are advancing maritime science - from time immemorial, often in the face of resistance.
"Anyone who embarks on an excursion into uncharted territory in our current special exhibition will learn interesting and instructive things," says museum director Peter Tamm. The zest for action with enormous dedication, tangible knowledge, personal curiosity and experience of these eleven female scientists are intelligently and
intelligently and worth seeing. The globally active photographer Marzena Skubatz gives the portraits an individual character - also in the visual language of her close-ups.
"We are presenting portraits and voices of female researchers who are currently making their mark at institutes in Germany," says Dr. Sonja Schäfer, who is responsible for the project at Kaispeicher B. Together with the University of Hamburg and in cooperation with the German Marine Research Alliance, the female protagonists are presented in an unconventional way. The female researchers portrayed include Professors Johanna Baehr (CEN University of Hamburg), Antje Boetius (most recently Alfred Wegener Institute) and Katja Matthes (GEOMAR). There are good reasons why this exhibition is a UN Ocean Decade event.
