Glitter Exhibition

Glitter sparkles and shimmers, fascinates and outrages. It can be found on stages as well as on protest posters and in children’s rooms. Glitter is omnipresent – and yet the MK&G is the first museum in the world to dedicate an exhibition to this material. The show will focus on glitter in current political contexts and collective movements, both as a material and a metaphor for visibility, belonging and self-determination. Around 40 international examples from the worlds of art and design will be brought together – works that make use of glitter as a means of protest or as an element of performance or pop culture, as a symbol for drawing attention to marginalised groups or of resistance against body norms. Visitors will be invited to actively participate – whether by adding important glitter events to a sparkling timeline that traces the invention, use and prohibition of the material, or by crafting their own glittery creations in the D.I.Y. space. Also, an open “Call for Glitter” was launched, collecting favourite glitter objects. Together, they will become a glittering cosmos and the central piece of the exhibition.
