Three new exhibitions at the Humboldt Forum offer unusual perspectives on history, art, and memory. They bring together Indigenous voices from Brazil, curatorial decisions behind the scenes of the museum, and contemporary artistic positions from Japan in a dynamic and thought-provoking dialogue. The opening event features conversations with curators and partners, exhibition tours, a performance by Takehito Koganezawa – and space for exchange.

Speakers at the opening include:

Hartmut Dorgerloh, General Director of the Humboldt Forum, Lars-Christian Koch, Director of the Ethnologisches Museum and the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, and for the individual exhibitions:

Takehito Koganezawa. One on Two, Two from One: Takehito Koganezawa and Kerstin Pinther
Conversation in Dialogue: Duka Amarsaikahn and Leonie Kircher
Feliciano Lana. The Story of White People: Steve Hugh-Jones and Andrea Scholz

The brief conversations will be moderated by Han Song Hiltmann, Head of Programming at the Humboldt Forum Foundation.

Afterwards, all those involved in the exhibitions Conversation in Dialogue and Feliciano Lana. The Story of White People will be available to answer your questions in the exhibition spaces.

At 7:30 PM, Takehito Koganezawa’s performance One on Two, Two from One, with a duration of 29 minutes and 59 seconds, will take place in the Raum.

All three exhibitions will remain open until 10:00 PM.
