Bruno Jamaica – “What comes out from the windows brings us together” (2011); Installation view
This city is full of lost wanderers. People who have packed up and left in search of new frontiers and somehow got stuck here mid-transit. We are from everywhere and some of us will stay for longer than others. We rent rooms and studios, decorate our spaces with treasures found at Mauerpark. We build ourselves a nest then just as suddenly as we arrived, we pack up and leave in search of something new.

The current exhibition at Kunstraum Kreuzberg, “Nomadic Settlers – Settled Nomads” explores this search for place and contemporary notions of home. 26 International artists working in several mediums engage with these ideas with curiosity, homesickness and humor. The exhibition runs until August 28 and the program includes several performances and workshops.
