🤍🖤 Welcome to EqualStreetNames Basel 🤍🖤

Street names reflect the commemorative decisions of each municipality over time, and as such can be understood as the city’s manifesto about its social, cultural and political values. (Oto-Peralías D, 2018).

Die deutliche Absenz von konkreten Frauenfiguren im öffentlichen Raum spiegeln [...] die Schweizer Geschichtsvergessenheit in Bezug auf Frauen und ihren Ausschluss aus der politischen und wirtschaftlichen Sphäre.

-- Essay der Historikerinnen Tiziana Bonetti und Rachel Huber. In blick.ch
