Aesthetic Experience in the Space of Memory

Brick, subdued light, clear forms: The exhibition atmosphere of the Rochus Chapel directs attention to image and text panels, documents, and portraits. In concentrated hanging, colors, typography, and materiality unfold a quiet intensity – an art experience that creates resonance through spatial effects and light management.

Diverse Resistance: 18 Portraits, Many Life Paths

The traveling exhibition features 18 female biographies from different social backgrounds and political contexts. They helped the persecuted, organized escape assistance, duplicated writings, and subverted propaganda – a panorama of forms of action between everyday life and the underground. Historical context, precise curation, and source-based texts make the viewing of works transparent and comprehensible.
