Group Exhibition at Kunsthaus Göttingen - Togetherness

The Kunsthaus Göttingen invites you to the internationally curated group exhibition "Togetherness" from July 20th to November 10th, 2024. This exhibition explores the diverse facets of friendship, belonging, love, and (queer) relationships through the medium of comics and graphic novels.

Artists such as Nino Bulling, Lina Ehrentraut, Tommi Parrish, and Marijpol address social norms, role clichés, intimacy, body and gender concepts, identity issues, and self-optimization in their works.

In the exhibition, you can discover drawings and texts that encompass personal experiences, social observations, thrilling stories, and humorous narratives. These are complemented by some sculptural works and objects.
