Kestner Gesellschaft, Hannover
Friday 13 November 2026, 7pm
Shortly before the exhibtion Crystalline closes at the Kestner Gesellschaft, Karimah Ashadu talks with curator Alexander Wilmschen about her artistic practice, current and past exhibition projects, and her work as a filmmaker.
The conversation covers the making of her new film WAVES (2026) at a car wash on the outskirts of Lagos, the men she films, and the new photographs and the sculpture Auric Field (2026)
Since the early 2010s, Ashadu has turned her attention to Nigeria's informal economies, asking how labour, masculinity and the dream of a self-determined life are intertwined.
Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to talk over drinks and pastries from Bäckerei Göing.
The talk will be held in English.
