NEW DYNAMICS Transforming Diversity

In the organizer's words:

From collages to installative and performative projects to sculptural works: the NEW DYNAMICS Transforming Diversity exhibition presents the work of 12 international artists who transcend the traditional boundaries of photography. They are dedicated to the tension between chaos and order in the context of migration and cultural identity.

Is chaos merely a destructive force or also a necessary process for change and renewal? How does our understanding of chaos influence the way we deal with migration and cultural diversity?

In a world characterized by increasing diversity, the exhibition explores questions about the definition of identity and explores the interplay of dichotomous concepts such as foreign and own, old and new, ordered and anarchic.

Curation: Teona Gogichaishvili

Participating artists: Giovanna Del Sarto, Serkan Goeren, Jerry Helle, Anja Lautermann and Frauke Berg, Vera Lossau, Andrews Siaw Nubuor, Safiya Seedmother, Byron Smith, Karen Stuke, Mikheil (Mishiko) Sulakauri and Saba Gorgodze, André Ramos-Woodard

Exhibition design: Scenography students of the MA course "Scenography and Communication" of the Department of Design at the FH Dortmund under the direction of Prof. Martin Middelhauve.

The exhibition will open as part of the f² Fotofestival 2025, which takes place in Dortmund from June 12 to 15 and is dedicated to the theme #Chaos. Beyond the photo festival, it will be on display until July 6 and offers a diverse supporting program.
