Mit Videoarbeiten, Installationen, Performances und partizipativen Formaten entsteht ein Erfahrungsraum. Eine Bühne, ein Material Lab und eine Home Food Canteen Baraza mit @kojothecook und kuratiert von @inhaus_ev laden zum gemeinsamen Essen, Nachdenken und Mitgestalten ein. In einer Zeit von Kriegen, Vertreibung, erstarkendem Nationalismus und Klimakrise lädt r e t u r n dazu ein, Rückkehr anders zu denken und neue Formen des Zusammenlebens zu entwerfen. Mit Arbeiten u. a. von Kara Walker, Kader Attia, Uriel Orlow, Saodat Ismailova, Federico Cuatlacuatl, Hiba G. Isleem, Anika Krbetschek, Duane Linklater, Kiri Dalena, Karoline Schneider, Talya Lubinsky, Ayaka Terajima, Jacqueline Hen, Shahroudi Farkhondeh, Theresa Weber & Pınar Öğrenci – eine Ausstellung über das Verlorene und was daraus entstehen kann. 17.

STRIKE FOR JOY! FREUDESTREIK! STRIKE FOR JOY! GRÈVE POUR LA JOIE ! ¡HUELGA POR LA ALEGRÍA! إضراب من أجل الفرح! A collective Strike initiated by InterFemme e.V.* 3.10.2026 l 16:00 7.11.2026 l 16:00 3.12.2026 l 19:00 6.12.2026 l 16:00 The crises are real. We strike anyway! « War, the climate crisis, rising rents, constant stress, bad news by the minute. We read it, we feel it, and sometimes we no longer know what to do with the fear, the anger and the exhaustion. That is exactly what STRIKE FOR JOY is about. In our performance, we strike against what these crises do to us: against exhaustion, against powerlessness, against the constant pressure to keep functioning, and against the quiet rules that tell us what a “good life” is supposed to look like. And we strike for something: for joy. Not as an escape and not as denial, but as a force. Those who live only in fear can no longer change anything. Those who share joy together can keep going longer. Or, as we put it: We don’t rejoice because everything is alright. We rejoice so that we don’t give up. You don’t need to know how to do anything, and you don’t need to achieve anything. You are welcome simply to be there, to watch, to join in, or just to listen. Everything is allowed, including being tired. STRIKE FOR JOY is part of the exhibition return at the @rjmkoeln Bring your friends. And your exhaustion. It can come too. Come along and strike for joy with us! » InterFemme* uses its cultural projects to promote empowerment, combat discrimination against FLINTA*, and advance anti-racist work. The association is an inclusive, transcultural, emancipatory and supportive network for artists and cultural practitioners with and without experiences of racism in Cologne and North Rhine-Westphalia. Through our projects, we bring more perspectives into the arts and cultural scene so that it can become a more realistic reflection of society. More on r-e-t-u-r-n.net 📸 Sander by @njsnoep

NEWS | MBAYE DIOP | RAUTENSTRAUCH-JOEST-MUSEUM Mbaye Diop’s (@ndomboal) animated movie “Espace Trépasse” (2021) is part of the collective exhibition “r e t u r n. between past and future emerges another present’”, curated by Nanette Snoep (@njsnoep) at the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum (@rjmkoeln), in Cologne. r e t u r n explores questions of longing, belonging and fragmented memory after experiences of loss, displacement and dislocation. Bringing together international artists, the exhibition traces what violence, colonialism and war leave behind: gaps in archives, suppressed histories and memories that continue to live in bodies, landscapes and communities. But r e t u r n does not only ask what has been lost. The works imagine new connections – to people, places and histories, to the environment and to possible futures. Memory and imagination open up new possibilities. — Le film d’animation de Mbaye Diop, « Espace Trépasse » (2021), fait partie de l’exposition collective “r e t u r n. between past and future emerges another present’”, organisée par Nanette Snoep au Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum, à Cologne. r e t u r n explore les questions du désir, de l’appartenance et de la mémoire fragmentée après des expériences de perte, de déplacement et de déracinement. Réunissant des artistes internationaux, l’exposition retrace ce que la violence, le colonialisme et la guerre laissent derrière eux : des lacunes dans les archives, des histoires occultées et des souvenirs qui continuent de vivre dans les corps, les paysages et les communautés. Mais r e t u r n ne se contente pas de s’interroger sur ce qui a été perdu. Les œuvres imaginent de nouveaux liens – avec les personnes, les lieux et les histoires, avec l’environnement et avec des avenirs possibles. La mémoire et l’imagination ouvrent de nouvelles possibilités. — “r e t u r n. between past and future emerges another present’” Curated by Nanette Snoepp Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum, Cologne 17.09-06.12.2026 — Mbaye Diop & Rémy Bender “Espace Trépasse”, 2021 Film Still — #SelebeYoon #MbayeDiop #rautenstrauchjoestmuseumköln taken in Cologne, Germany by @njsnoep

Ihr verdankt das ethnologische Museum Kölns nun eine größere wie buntere Besucher*innenschaft als je zuvor, darunter auffallend viele Migrant*innen – wie selten in anderen großen Ausstellungshäusern der Stadt. » Uta M.

🌱SINCRÉTICAS – Performance by Vanessa Ramos-Velasquez 📅 Thursday, 24 September 2026 🕡 6:30–9 pm 📍 Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum Vanessa Ramos-Velasquez’s related installations and performative activation in r e t u r n honor her African ancestry. Her enslaved great-grandmother, Amélia, born in Brazil, transmits a legacy of syncretic spirituality as a form of resistance. Sincréticas traverses the ocean to evoke the womb of Mother Africa across African diasporas. The Orixá Iansã, a female deity of atmospheric elements, is syncretized in the sword plants that open up the entryway leading to the exhibition hall. On a mound of sea salt, Iansã rests her body as the plants also known as Dracaena (Sansevieria) trifasciata ‘Laurentii’ work tirelessly to cleanse the air—an actual benefit of the species. Inside the exhibition space, the artist creates a personal, silent ritual within a mound of sea salt in memory of those taken by the Atlantic during the Middle Passage slave trade, for whom fresh air was scarce aboard the overcrowded ships. One installation site echoes the other through sensory emanations and gestures of healing. 🎙️Following the performance, Vanessa Ramos-Velasquez will be in conversation with Nanette Snoep, Artistic Director of the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum. SINCRÉTICAS is part of the exhibition r e t u r n – between past and future, another place emerges. 🔗 Learn more: r-e-t-u-r-n.net by @njsnoep
