An extensive publication with numerous illustrations titled healing: Life in Balance is being published to accompany the exhibition at the Weltkulturen Museum in Frankfurt. The book presents all the participating international artists in personal conversations on the topic of healing and, based on the museum's collection, expands the ethnological view to include interdisciplinary perspectives by international scholars and activists. The book opens up a polyphonic dialogue and offers possibilities for designing postcolonial, global coexistence and a healthy life in balance.ArtistsMarina Abramovic, La Vaughn Belle, Elena Bernabè, Roberta Carvalho, Magnus Døvigen, Alejandro Durán, Marco del Fiol, Ayrson Heráclito, Feliciano Lana, Naziha Mestaoui, Michael O'Neill, Roldán Pinedo

The catalogue Angela Hampel - The Artistic Work is being published on the occasion of the exhibition with the same title, which will be presented at the Städtische Galerie Dresden from May 25 to September 11, 2022. It contains more than 180 illustrations, as well as scholarly texts on Hampel's artistic media: painting, graphics, installation, performance, artist books, and work in public space. A look back at her reception in the 1980s, a discussion of her current artistic work, and an extensively illustrated biography provide never before published insights into Angela Hampel's life and oeuvre.

In her work, the photo artist Catrine Val addresses the role of women in diverging cultural and political systems. The project Jetzt. Memory Unsettled is based on the statement of a ninety-four-year-old woman in which she compares the loss of all her belongings in a flood with memories of the experiences of war in her youth, from which she has never recovered. The vulnerability of our existence, but also the power to believe in the future and to fight for it unreservedly, to create a new feeling of security, is the topic of this publication. The project has obtained a particularly urgency against the backdrop of the current displaced persons situation. Authors from various disciplines shed light on the photographs from the perspective of philosophy, history, or image theory, and show how intermeshed our here and now is with the past as well as the future.
