New exhibition
Press tour: Fri, 20.09.24, 10–11 am
Opening: Fri, 20.09.24, 7:30 pm incl. performance »The Open Boat« by Lamin Fofana (10 pm)

With the exhibition project »Fellow Travellers«, the concept of art of Alistair Hudson, the new scientific-artistic director of ZKM since April 2023, becomes visible for the first time. Hudson sees art as a social practice. In the exhibition format, »Fellow Travellers« shows a variety of artistic positions of this notion of socially useful art, including projects by the Chinese artist Zheng Guogu, the Brazilian architect Paulo Tavares / studio autônoma and the Congolese collective CATPC. With the »Useum«, the exhibition expands to include an open space that creates a place for joint social action in an artistic context for initiatives from Karlsruhe.
