Otobong Nkanga: There’s No Such Thing as Solid Ground
Otobong Nkanga’s interest lies in the complex relationship between humans and land. In her works, she explores this relationship within the tension between exploitative extraction processes and structures of care and repair. Following her one-year stay as In House: Artist in Residence 2019 at the Gropius Bau, a solo exhibition will offer insights into the central issues of her work.

Down to Earth
The summer project “Down to Earth” is both a walk-through exhibition with objects and installations occupying the entire ground floor of the Gropius Bau and the Südplatz to its rear as well as the venue for an unplugged programme that changes every day and includes live art, music, lectures and spontaneous interventions along with expert talks and workshops.
