Ferienworkshop für Kinder: Melike Kara – Whispers

In the organizer's words:

In her solo exhibition Whispers as part of the 9th Triennial of Photography Hamburg, artist Melike Kara exploresthemes of identity, memory and transformation. The starting point is her preoccupation with her Kurdish heritage, which she has archived and artistically processed in recent years. The focus is on making the beauty of Kurdish traditions visible - beyond pain and persecution. The title refers to a form of presence that is not dominant. A whisper is audible without being intrusive; it demands proximity and attention. The expansive installation transforms the exhibition space into a living landscape of ash, water, painting and plants. Transience, loss and new beginnings flow into one another.

The exhibition will be expanded in two vacation workshops, one for children and one for young people. The workshops invite people to reflect on the question: "What happens when the stories we tell ourselves about our origins fade into the background?" Participants learn to reflect on their ideas of origin and memory, to sharpen their perception of materiality and small details and to creatively express their own stories and wishes.
