Nothing As Our Ground

28.11.2025 to 03.08.2026
Humboldt Forum

The exhibition brings together eleven artistic positions that deal with family and connectedness. The title refers to the reality of queer and migrant experiences. Relationships often arise where there are neither social structures nor political safeguards for a stable foundation.

Photographs, videos, and installations show how diverse and contradictory life can be across generations, borders, and beyond traditional family images. They demonstrate that family is not fixed, but is constantly being renegotiated.
