PROGRAMME

We view museums as being both archives of society and political sites. Remaining free from any commercial interests, we work to generate perspectives and positions that are moving and challenging. As cultural scholars, we query historical and present-day realms of experience. What can objects show us? Who speaks – and appears – in stories? And what stories are needed by our future?

Extensive archive of special exhibitions (German language): past exhibitions, current exhibitions, preview

Hands-on in die Zukunft

Fri, 03.10.2025 – Sun, 12.10.2025

What happens when we make things? This exhibition is about people who create things. What do they learn when they make glass, tiles, dumplings and carpets? What do we learn about the world when we listen to craftspeople and see perspectives that are too often overlooked? Where is discrimination happening, and where can we find opportunities for change?

Questioning and Reordering Archives for an Entangled Future. The artistic research project The ZoNE (artists Marcus Neustetter and Bronwyn Lace, philosopher Johannes Jäger) mines the archive for traditional songs, notations, tools, artefacts and more in order to unframed and develop new interpretations and approaches for a contemporary knowledge making.
