DIE VERHÄLTNISSE ZUM TANZEN BRINGEN 50 Jahre Kemnade International
In the organizer's words:
In the summer of 2024, we will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of an experiment: in 1974, the Bochum Art Museum launched Kemnade International, a festival that not only focused on music and art, literature and dance, but also on networking and the knowledge of many. It became an outstanding example of the rich culture of our region, which had long been shaped by migrants. What remains of the utopia of that time? Which stories still need to be told, which dances still need to be danced? Together with artists from different generations and former festival participants, we took a look at the living history of the festival from the present day.
Our large exhibition space will become a platform for polyphonic sounds and memories, with suggestions for a new way of living together and a critical look at the present. How can a dialog between the generations succeed and what does solidarity mean today? And how much festival fits into a museum space?
Based on the logic of a festival site, things happen here alongside and with each other. With playable instruments, installations, film and archive material, the exhibition is an invitation to come together again and make things dance today. And make sure to stop by the roof terrace - it's going to be a party!
