nothing but LOVE

At a time when the world is often characterized by hecticness and unrest, we want to offer a space that illuminates the many facets of love - a topic that connects and inspires us all.

nothing but LOVE

From unconditional affection to the challenges that love can bring: in this exhibition, around 50 artists deal with the highs and lows of this universal emotion in a unique way. 

Because love, just like art, is a colorful matter. Love is not heteronormative, there are many different ways to love. Who you love, what you feel, what gender you feel you belong to, makes no difference.

Wunderkammer

200 queer artists and a wide range of writers, musicians and performance artists from across Norway participate with all art forms.

The activist artist collective Pride Art (Norway) has been an art educator for the queer movement since 2001, working with a network of 800 artists across the country. Artist-led, Pride Art creates unique art experiences from a queer perspective, where the art challenges prejudices and preserves the tradition of the queer movement focusing on art as a tool in the struggle for liberation. Throughout the year, Pride Art hosts around 40 exhibitions from Kristiansand in the south to Tromsø in the north, often in unusual locations such as churches, senior centers, schools and cultural centers, and offers programs with a variety of companies and institutions to open up a greater understanding of human life and the reality of queer people through art that builds bridges.  

 The term "Wunderkammer" originated in the 16th century at the gatherings of various privileged and noble figures from European colonial powers who were housed in their own cabinets. The word comes from German and is often translated in Norwegian as "cabinet of rarities", but it would be more correct to call it "chamber of wonders". They contained fossils, stuffed animals, rare plants and works of art from the colonized.

The Wunderkammer version of Pride Art also contains many things that are rarely seen: the works of queer, living artists. The artistic expression of minorities is rarely or never the focus of institutions, with sporadic exceptions in the queer cultural year of 2022. Pride Art highlights a cross-border diversity of voices that are otherwise made invisible or ignored as irrelevant by those who are given the power to filter what enters the public space.

 Pride Art and Wunderkammer are not just meant to promote queer art and queer artists. With the exhibitions we create encounters between the non-queer majority and art that tells about queer lives and feelings. This creates wonder and dialogue beyond rainbow flags and Pride celebrations on a few days a year. It contributes to more understanding, more inclusion and increased acceptance of identity and orientation.

We welcome you to the Wunderkammer 2024, an experience that you simply cannot be touched by!

Pride and Prejudice

44 international artists await you on all 3 floors of the former prison in Lichterfelde! Here is the list of all artists.

Summer is here, and with it comes a very special time of joy, acceptance and celebration – Pride Month. 

Since the uprising of queer people against police brutality and violence in the New York bar “ Stonewall Inn” on June 28, 1969, July in Berlin has also become the month of the queer community. This month we celebrate ourselves and set an example of love, diversity and equality.   But the parades not only testify to diversity and love, they also draw attention to grievances. As we gather this month to celebrate pride and love, we should remember that the fight for the rights and dignity of all people continues, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

I'm thrilled to meet you there.

At Easter, the non-profit prideART Berlin e.V. turns 2 years old and is happy to be able to host an exhibition again with many queer international artists.

Just as PRIMAL MATTER describes the underlying concern, we have now also suggested the MEANING of life and the SENSUALITY of experience as inspiration for the artists.

There are always a variety of very different styles and subjects... We show paintings, photography, sculptures & collages. On the 3 floors of the former prison in Lichterfelde you walk from cell to cell and be surprised by what appeals to your senses.

Additional events include a life drawing workshop on Friday, guided tours of the entire building on Sunday and Monday, and the popular Puppy Play Day again on Easter Monday.

Paul Middleton will be singing at the opening and many of the artists will be there for the party and meeting guests.

I look forward to meeting you there.

What is home? Where is home? Is home a place or a feeling? Can I exchange one home for a new home? Is home unchanging or a growing and therefore constantly changing phenomenon? Are globality and homeland compatible? The 26 artists addressed these and other questions. Works have been created that address the closely interwoven aspects of identity, origins and family, but also those that deal with the high emotional potential of the term “home”. The turn to the landscape as a place of idyll and longing is also represented in the exhibition.

The exhibition is organized by "Bund internationaler Künstler e.V." www.b-i-k.info/ **

VENUS 2023 PrideArt

Our society is repositioning itself towards different living environments.

The norms known as “classic identity roles” - from the post-war period - are, for example, supplemented by other gender identities. With this development, the perspectives on “feminine aesthetics” also expand and allow for unimagined possibilities. The exhibition “Venus” deals with views and perspectives of this change, starting from “traditionally” female representations of the post-war period through to abstract structures. Broaden your perspective too.

 I'm looking forward to meeting you.
