Co-Curator & Artist
Through an open call for applications, each ATELIER ends up producing an unusual constellation of contemporary artworks, performances and installations. For the first time, the ATELIER will have a thematic framing: under the title ›Archives in Our Homes‹, the 67th iteration of the ATELIER seeks to showcase artistic interrogations of the stories personal archives tell, and of the things they leave out. In the various spaces that make up PACT, these projects coalesce, forming paths that permit multiple interpretations, offering different ways of interpreting and representing themes such as heritage, home, and belonging. ›Archives in Our Homes‹ was proposed by Princela Biyaa, Marny Garcia Mommertz and Fayo Said, the founders of the Association for Black Art_ists e.V., which looks at the various forms of archiving artistic work in Africa and in the African diaspora from a Black perspective.

Curator
Based on an examination of Audre Lorde’s words: “If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive”, the exhibition “At the borderlines of belonging // Grenzlinien des Daseins” centralizes artistic positions of Black Munich womxn through poetry and photography. The exhibition also calls for the integration of Namibian perspectives dealing with colonial history and the collective healing of trauma into the process of finding black identity in Germany. The artworks on the themes of identity, belonging, and the reality of life are the result of collective and intersectional negotiations between Black Munich artists, and activists.

Assistant Curator to Inke Ahrns and Fabian Saveedra-Lara (Dortmund, Germany)
Based on the collaborative art project of the Werkstatt Mallinckrodtstraße on Romani building culture of the same name and the redesign of a building façade in the Nordstadt district of Dortmund in September 2019, the Faţadă/Façade exhibition, workshop and public program focuses on a special form of architecture that has arisen in Romania, among other places, in the last 30 years. This is distinguished by expressive façades, in which many different forms of design are found. The (dream) homes are also often provided with domes or cupolas, castle battlements or silvery, shimmering, onion-shaped roofs. In addition to many building models that originated in the context of the project and that are on view in the exhibition, members of the Werkstatt Mallinckrodtstraße will also realise a redesigning of the HMKV's entrance area. An event programme enables in-depth examination and discussion of the many different aspects of the project.
