Xposures is a two-day open-air exhibition and program of performances taking place in and around the garden of the Kulturhaus Schwartzsche Villa in Steglitz. The project revolves around the power of collective actions in sensitizing communities and propelling new ideals, as well as in protecting, questioning, and reappropriating the public domain (both urban and natural). Simultaneously, Xposures reflects upon the politics of exhibiting, and processes of re-negotiating narratives and legacies that such practices activate.
Ten artists based in Berlin – from the Global South, Europe, Asia – develop a rich program of site-specific interventions.
