Sich verwandt machen
In the organizer's words:
The exhibition*Making Kin/Sich verwandt machen*brings together works by female artists from Canada, South Korea, Nigeria, Ghana, Myanmar, Germany, Estonia, Uzbekistan, and the United States. Their diverse practices are united by the understanding that we are all woven into a dynamic web of relationships: with other people, animals, plants, spirit beings, the cosmos—but also with our office chair.
This worldview is linked to a critique of (colonial) regimes of violence and exploitation, as well as state ideologies that seek to reduce the diversity of relationships to nuclear family models and rigid forms of belonging. The artists counter the loss of connections, biodiversity, languages, aesthetics, and knowledge with resistance and the exploration of marginalized forms of knowledge and relationships.
Four themes are central: belonging and community, interconnections between human and non-human collectives, the revitalization and transmission of devalued knowledge cultures, and questions of cultural memory and intergenerational exchange. The transcultural diversity of the artistic approaches transforms the exhibition space into a pluriverse and invites visitors to forge their own connections.
Participating artists: Catherine Blackburn, Aziza Kadyri, Mae-ling Lokko, Meryl McMaster, Caroline Monnet, Katja Novitskova, Soe Yu Nwe, Odun Orimolade, Judith Raum, Cara Romero, Zina Saro-Wiwa, Haegue Yang
