The exhibition “Wow! Wow! From the Curse of the Pharaoh to Hate Speech” explores curses, myths, and hate speech from a historical and societal perspective. Starting from October 30, 2026, the exhibition will be on display in Hof. It runs until April 4, 2027, and invites visitors to engage with different forms of curses, traditions, and offensive language.
From Ancient Curses to Modern Hate
The exhibition title connects the Curse of the Pharaoh with the contemporary term hate speech. This creates a thematic arc from historical concepts and myths to societal forms of linguistic devaluation. At the center is the question of how curses, narratives, and hostile expressions can be viewed and categorized in various times.
The exhibition looks at both history and the present. It makes visible that language and traditional notions can have societal significance. Visitors will have the opportunity to engage with the topics addressed and learn about their historical and societal dimensions.
