Exhibition »Unseen, Unheared, Unwanted«

Project from 04. Oktober until 25. Oktober 2025

As WkB e.V., we are delighted to be hosting the exhibition “Unseen, Unheard, Unwanted.”

The exhibition is an invitation to explore power, space, and identity. In the exhibition, the queer-feminist art collectives “Out of Order” from Chemnitz and “Richtung22” from Esch-sur-Alzette (Luxembourg, Capital of Culture 2022) create a space in the Stadtwirtschaft for perspectives that are often suppressed in everyday life, on the streets, in the art scene, and in politics. The works of around 20 regional and international emerging artists are as diverse as the artists themselves: uncomfortable, tender, pure, angry, poetic, political, simple, honest. Accompanied by a colorful program of participatory events, we join forces with all visitors to create a counterpoint to ignorance, repression, and intolerance.

In a world dominated by smooth surfaces and prestige, we want to create a counterpoint: an exhibition of voices that are often overlooked or remain invisible.

Who gets space and why?
Who owns the city?
Who is allowed to develop freely and safely?

Amidst a shift to the right, crises, and growing uncertainties, we ask these questions aloud and provide answers in the form of art.

Can I be the person I choose to be?
And can I be that person everywhere?

These are central questions of the exhibition, reflecting the different realities of people who have intensively grappled with their gender and social identity.

Video works, oil paintings, sculptures, and other works question established norms, address body hatred and shame, and document the search for one’s own boundaries and the pure happiness of being seen as the person one is. In workshops and discussions with artists, ideas are sought on how we can leave outdated structures behind us—for a more loving coexistence.
