"Home, elsewhere." Collages and texts by Ines Doleschal

In her work, Ines Doleschal explores the history of her family from Hohenelbe in northern Bohemia. Her starting point is photographs of her ancestors as well as memories of their expulsion from Czechoslovakia and their new beginning in West Germany after 1945. In collages combining painting and fragments, and in her texts, she condenses what displacement has meant for those who experienced it and for subsequent generations: a life between holding on and moving forward, preserving and forgetting. Personal mementos complement the exhibition.

A creative station invites visitors to create their own collages. On several Sundays, the artist will offer collage workshops.

Duration of this gallery exhibition: 26 February 2026 – 31 August 2026
