"Panta rhei - Everything flows, everything changes!" This is what Hans Erni called his magnificent mural with portraits of European thinkers and researchers from antiquity to the present day in the auditorium of his museum in 1978. Students in the graphics class at the Lucerne Technical and Business College are juxtaposing the mural with their own gallery of identification figures.

They designed posters and newspapers about significant personalities of their own choosing, ranging from the primeval mother Eve to the artist and performer Yoko Ono or the pilot and poet Antoine Saint-Éxupery, the civil rights activist Martin Luther King and the physicist Marie Curie to the captain and refugee rescuer Carola Rackete. These diverse personalities have one thing in common: the ability to break norms and develop new ideas, to believe in them and to push them through with perseverance - even in the face of great resistance. The elaborately designed exhibition at the Hans Erni Museum showcases the results of this struggle, as well as the path that led to it under the special conditions of the pandemic.
