As part of “Human Song — Was uns zusammenhält”.
The exhibition features photographs of communities—whether formed by chance, by choice, or by decree. The photographs reveal that belonging is not a fixed state, but something that is constantly being redefined through everyday life and shared activities.
In contrast to an often negative media discourse that primarily emphasizes the divisive and difficult aspects of communities, this exhibition focuses on what unites us, without overlooking how fragile this structure can be at the same time.
The exhibition brings together different perspectives on community and invites visitors to engage in conversation about it. What becomes visible are not only formal visual arrangements, but also the social dynamics behind them: moments that create closeness, strengthen connections, or mark boundaries.
“Human Song – Was uns zusammenhält” encourages us to look more closely—at encounters, relationships, and the subtle interplay that makes community possible. An exhibition about what holds us together.

Kihako Narisawa: "quite quiet"
“quite quiet” is a choreographic performance that explores the tensions between inner perception and external projection—from the perspective of four artists of Japanese descent. Drawing on references to cultural forms of expression, codes of pop and subculture, and gestures of protest, “quite quiet” examines how gender roles are imposed, lived out, rejected, or reclaimed. Here, silence becomes choreographic material; the presence of an individual in relation to her surroundings is redefined—not as absence or submission, but as a form of nuanced and self-determined action.
