International SALOON Meeting during the preview days of Manifesta 16 Ruhr✨
Despite the extreme heat—and with several pre-openings already behind us—we gathered on Sunday for a guided tour with Manifesta curator Leonie Herweg, who co-curated the two Essen churches, St. Gertrud and St. Marien, together with René Block.
Leonie gave us wonderful insights into the exhibition and the featured works, including pieces by Ayşe Erkmen and Donya Nasseri. Thank you, dear Leonie, for taking so much time with us and for the inspiring and in-depth conversation about Manifesta and its vision.
After the tour, we cooled down and recharged at Capobianco, the lovely Italian restaurant just around the corner, before spontaneously heading to St. Marien to experience Mira Mann's sound performance.
It was a truly wonderful day, and we were delighted to meet and connect with inspiring colleagues from other SALOON chapters. Thank you all for making it so special!
