The global economy needs raw materials such as oil, minerals, and agricultural commodities. But other resources, such as knowledge and labor, are also in demand to satisfy the ever-increasing demand in wealthy countries like Germany.

The exhibition “Poor Despite Wealth” from Motivés eV. It shows where the resources we consume come from and under what conditions they are exploited. It focuses on the lived realities of the people at whose expense we afford our consumption-intensive lifestyle and offers suggestions for what we could do to create greater resource justice.

The exhibits, with their many movable elements, peepholes, flaps, guessing games, puzzles or interactive maps, offer a playful approach and make the exhibition visit varied!

From the beginning of October to mid-December, you can find information on various topics at the Friedberg campus in front of building B1 and in the city center near the town hall. The exhibits are open to the public.
