A photographic dialogue between German and Polish photographers about a shared space of memory – the former eastern territories of Germany and the western and northern territories of Poland after 1945. How do displacement and expulsion, Poland’s westward shift, the loss of home, uprooting, and arrival in a foreign place continue to resonate today? What traces remain in landscapes and personal memories?

Duration: 29 May 2026 to 17 January 2027
