Attend the opening of 3 Lieder für Marie Nejar (3 Songs for Marie Nejar), a solo-exhibition of artist James Gregory Atkinson. This exhibition showcases new and older works primarily as installation, video, sound, and photography developed by the artist over the last five years. In his research-based exhibition projects, artist James Gregory Atkinson combines social and political history with autobiographical perspectives to examine the absence of Afro-German experiences within established narratives of race, identity, and nationality in Germany. By integrating documents, objects, oral histories, bodies, places, and performative practices into a living, shared archive, he reimagines memory, experience, and knowledge as relational and dynamic, with each element functioning as a historical carrier.
