Solo show "After Me, the Deluge / Sau ta là hồng thủy"
"After Me, the Deluge / Sau ta là hồng thủy" marks Vietnamese artist Cẩm-Anh Lương’s first solo exhibition in Germany at SOMA Art Berlin. Through immersive installations in mixed media and VR, Cẩm-Anh explores the personal and collective memories shaped by migration, Western colonialism, and imposed stereotypes on Southeast Asian identities. Echoing the phrase "After me, the deluge"—used by figures from King Louis XV to Karl Marx—the exhibition contemplates the turbulent impact of power, impermanence, and consequence in a digital age, challenging how we remember and connect across histories and geographies.

How can curatorial practices incorporate diverse perspectives and voices, and what conflicts can arise? Where can we find a history that includes unheard, marginalized, feminist, and postcolonial voices from the bottom up? [..]

Mind & Machine
Since the nineteenth century’s industrial revolution, technology and machines have dominated all facets of life and fundamentally altered how societies function. Technology has advanced greatly from tools to free labour to “digital labourers” capable of replacing humans and performing tasks requiring complex logical and perceptual skills, putting it at the centre of debates surrounding identity and the ties that bind humans and machines together.
We have reached the point in history where machines are closest to humans. Current artificial intelligence (AI) is capable of learning, synthesizing information, analyzing, and giving answers outside of what it is programmed to do. Humans make machines and develop them by imitating ourselves. So how do we as humans advance when machines advance? What are the possibilities of advanced machines in our human hands?
The exhibition MIND & MACHINE is an invitation to researchers and artists to respond to the question posed above and present their responses in the form of physical, digital or interactive work using new technology (AR, VR, AI). The exhibition within the framework of the Vietnam Festival of Creativity & Design 2023 (VFCD 2023) will take place at two locations: Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi in November and December 2023.

Summer Symposium: Curating through Conflict with Care
The nGbK working group „Curating through Conflict with Care“ (CCC) invites you to a three-day summer symposium from 4 to 6 August 2023. The symposium will take place from Friday to Sunday from 10:00-18:00 and will be launched with an opening party on Thursday evening.
The symposium uses conflict and contradiction as a methodology to identify and work through the paradoxes of inclusive curating. CCC addresses these contexts as a starting point for further developing best practices and existing debates on curatorial responsibility. The nGbK working group invites workers in the arts to exchange ideas on how to further develop the role of the curator and address contemporary challenges. Together they will gather experiences and ideas for (extra)institutional changes that put care at the centre.
