In 2021, the exhibition "Schalom Sisters*!" of the Jewish Museum Augsburg celebrated Jewish feminist positions in the past and present.

In it’s context, award-winning feminist comic artist Lisa Frühbeis was approached for a moving artwork on a tramway. She planned and designed the tram as a protest march, as protesting suffragettes were not allowed to stay in one place – always moving from place to place.

The lively colours violet and white stand for the suffragettes movement, core of the „Shalom Sisters*!“ exhibition. The march starts with their demand for women’s voting right, moving to the body liberating hippie era, into the present day demand for equality. The characters unite for a long march that profits from previous generations’ achievements, but still always begins anew.
The design’s concept is interactive: Anyone who gets on the train as a passenger is at eye level with the demonstrating women and becomes part of the movement! The tram started rolling on women’s day.
