IWALEWA-HAUS Archive Laboratory Utopia
In October 2011 Iwalewa-Haus celebrates its 30th anniversary - a motive to reflect, celebrate, critically discuss, experiment, imagine and visualize under the headlines of archive, laboratory and utopia. Exhibitions, a workshop and program take place in that context to present the past, present and future of Iwalewa-Haus.
The focal point of the archive tells the history of Iwalewa-Haus with the exhibitions ”Spuren - 30 Jahre Iwalewa-Haus’ and ‘Visions d’ailleurs’. In the laboratory we show three projects developed in the context of short time artist residencies by three young artists from Kenya and Angola. Finally utopia considers the future of Iwalewa-Haus. In an international workshop we discuss important topics such as local and international cooperations, museum pedagogics, teaching and research, exhibition and publication practises and the artist in residence program.
