HEIMAT IM WANDEL EXHIBITION
POSTPONED AS A PRECAUTION TO THE CORONAVIRUS
NEW DATES WILL BE
ANNOUNCED SOON
The inaugural exhibition in 2019 of the curatorial project HOMELAND in TRANSIT channeled narratives of ‘homeland’ from Hong Kong perspectives: borders, boundaries, roots, diaspora, cultural identity, colonial ideologies and beyond. In the new chapter in 2020 with the German title HEIMAT im WANDEL, Martin Brauen and Angelika Li form a curatorial partnership to interweave the different perspectives and experiences of Bern-based Tibetan artist Sonam Dolma Brauen and six Hong Kong artists Hung Fai, Lee Ka Sing, Leung Chi Wo, MAP Office, Lulu Ngie and Wai Pong Yu.
The word ‘homeland’ has complex meanings: a clearly defined place/space, a tradition/culture that you share with others, a common history, belonging to a certain community in which you feel at home - and thus also feelings such as security and trust. It evokes a permanent form on the surface, yet when we dive a little deeper into our memories and emotions, the word urges us to reflect on its shifting nature. The definition of ‘homeland’ fluctuates under socio-political pressures which can lead to alienation and discontent, and potential fragmentations in our societies. Despite many differences, Tibet and Hong Kong share something in common: the sense of homeland of its inhabitants is constantly being questioned and reinterpreted. How do artists perceive these transformations and how do they represent it in their art?

Das Karussell
Das Meriten-Karussell dreht sich ewig,
einem Glücksrad ähnlich;
Einer tibetischen Gebetsmühle gleich.
Asche zu Asche, Staub zu Staub.
Zu seinem 10-jährigen Bestehen lädt La Nef ein Dutzend Künstler ein,
die an einer ihrer zahlreichen vergangenen Ausstellungen
teilgenommen haben. Wie jedes Jahr haben wir die Künstler gebeten,
ein Werk in bezug auf das Ausstellungsthema und die
architekturalen und historischen Besonderheiten der ehemaligen
Kirche von Le Noirmont zu kreieren.
