Exhibitions

The exhibition not only shows the history of STIs, but also refers to current topics such as AIDS therapy and HPV vaccination, the first “vaccination against cancer”. Different clinical pictures are shown and explained using historical specimens. As many STIs are now easily treatable, a special focus is placed on education and prevention - according to the motto: treatment is good, prevention is better. As sexually transmitted infections have social consequences beside physical symptoms, this topic is also covered. Stigmatization and exclusion should not really play a role in diseases today, yet those affected are still discriminated against in the 21st century. STIs can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, and socio-economic status. Knowledge about STIs not only useful to you, but also to others.

This exhibition at the ALBERTINA presents a crosssection of the oeuvre of Leiko Ikemura (*1951 in Tsu, Japan).

A central aspect of her output is the close linkage of humankind and nature, expressed not only in the melding of body and landscape but also via the inclusion of hybrid beings.
