In the spirit of the quote, “In relation, every subject is an object and every object is a subject” (Edouard Glissant), the two curators of the exhibition Making Kin invite you to engage with the relational worldview of the twelve artists represented and to weave your own connections:

The exhibition brings together works by Catherine Blackburn, Aziza Kadyri, Mae-ling Lokko, Meryl McMaster, Caroline Monnet, Katja Novitskova, Soe Yu Nwe, Odun Orimolade, Judith Raum, Cara Romero, Zina Saro-Wiwa, and Haegue Yang. Their different practices are united by the understanding that we are all woven into a dynamic network of relationships: with other people, animals, plants, spirit beings, the cosmos—but also with our office chair.

The exhibition was curated by: Kerstin Pinther, Curator for Modern and Contemporary Art in Global Context & Ute Marxreiter, Research Associate for Education and Outreach, Ethnologisches Museum and Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin – Preußischer Kulturbesitz

 

At the tour on 28 November, artists Soe Yu Nwe, Catherine Blackburn, and Judith Raum will be present alongside Kerstin Pinther and Ute Marxreiter.

In the Humboldt Forum's foyer there is a 17 meter high media tower, called "cosmograph". It gives visitors comprehensive information about their visit and can transform into an art and light installation.
