MARKK Museum Hamburg

In 2024 I did many illustrations accompanying "Pippi’s Papa and a Totally True Story from the Pacific" (dt.: "Pippis Papa und eine wirklich wahre Geschichte aus dem Pazifik") in Hamburg, Germany. 

The stories about Pippi Longstocking and her father Efraim, who rules as king over a Pacific island, figure among the most popular works of European children’s literature.  The biography of the Swede Carl Pettersson (1875 – 1937) shows astonishing parallels to the tales in the Pippi books. Based on the life circumstances of Pettersson, his Pacific wife Singdo and their children, the exhibition tells the story of German colonialism in the Pacific in a playful and interactive manner for children and families. It also aims to inspire reflection on how we should deal with colonial world views in classical children‘s books today.
