Description: The Jewish Museum Frankfurt presents The Female Side of God, based on numerous objects from cultural history and contemporary works of art. In a close reading of these works, the exhibition book introduces this hardly known and oftentimes even "suppressed tradition." Comprehensible descriptions of these visual representations of a female deity, which can be found throughout the centuries, alternate with five essays, resulting from an interdisciplinary symposium of the research association "Religious Positionings."  A highly topical publication, comprising faith, science, and art. Exhibition: Jüdisches Museum Frankfurt am Main, Germany (20.10.2020 - 14.02.2021)
