❤️‍🔥EXHIBITION ALERT❤️‍🔥 In an era when algorithms loop through our daily lives, fragment our attention, and dictate what counts as presence, this exhibition asks: How do we reclaim both time and relation from the algorithmic forces shaping our world? How can art open portals to alternative temporalities and coalitional worlds beyond AI, and imagine futures otherwise? Opening April 24th at @ifa.de gallery in Stuttgart, we bring together the artistic research and collective experiments of two residencies, and shows the works of the residents hiba ali, Zainab Aliyu, Mac Andre Arboleda, biarritzzz, Guilherme Bretas, Maithu Bùi, Noam Youngrak Son, and Kira Xonorika. The artworks unfold across digital and embodied spaces through sound, video, AI-generated imagery, speculative frameworks, digital spreadsheets, virtual reality, and archival intervention, offering counter-imaginaries that defy both accelerationist and extractivist logics. The residencies behind this exhibition unraveled through dialogue, exchange, mentorship, and collaborative experimentation. They were developed in collaboration with @ifa.de , @ifa.visualarts @kampnagel_hamburg @deichtorhallenhamburg , with additional support from the @goetheinstitut_barcelona Mentorship was offered by Idil Galip, Neema Githere, Petja Ivanova, Vanessa A. Opoku, Xin Xin, Anasuya Sengupta, and allapopp Production & co-curation: Ulla Heinrich @lexivoid

Introducing the exhibiting artists for our upcoming exhibition - Dreaming Beyond AI: Portals Behind the Algorithm 🛜 Within the theme of 🌐Understand🌐 - artworks from Mac Andre Arboleda and Noam Youngrak Son shed light on the various exploitative dynamics at play within digital, creative and cultural labour. Vernissage happening at ifa gallery Stuttgart on April 24th and Artists’ walking tour on April 25th, you’re invited 💙

Mit großer Betroffenheit und Trauer nimmt das @ifa.de Abschied von Henrike Naumann, einer außergewöhnlichen Künstlerin und Persönlichkeit, die am 14.02.2026 nach kurzer, schwerer Krankheit verstorben ist.

Now open: the German Pavilion at the Venice Bienniale 2026! In Ruin, @sungtieu and @henrikenaumann present newly commissioned works that draw on their research into the GDR and the post-reunification period. Their practices trace how political, social, and architectural ruptures continue to shape the present. Curated by @kathleen.reinhardt Commissioner: @ifa.de Photos: @ziehejens @andrearossetti.eu

ARE YOU FOR REAL? After years as a digital constellation, “Are You For Real: Cosmotechnics, Counterfictions, and the Art of Worldbuilding” by ifa – Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen has now taken physical form – currently on view in Montevideo. 🇺🇾 Blending virtual infrastructures with speculative futures and mythological resistance, the exhibition brings together art, technology, and magic to question the idea of “reality.” Across six clusters, it traces how digital worlds are entangled with planetary systems, and how they might help us imagine new futures beyond the human. Unfolding across three institutions, this marks the beginning of a multi-year exhibition journey across the Americas. Now on view at: 📍 Espacio de Arte Contemporáneo 📍 Museo de Artes Decorativas – Palacio Taranco 📍 Museo Nacional de Artes Visuales In collaboration with @goetheinstitut_uruguay Language: Spanish Discover it across three museums in Montevideo! Not in Uruguay? Check out the online platform to explore the project’s digital origins!

On World Book Day, we’re thinking about the many ways books move across borders carrying stories and perspectives with them. 📚 Swipe through for a small selection from our reading list and tab the link in our profile for more information: ▪️Spheres of Interest, published by DISTANZ Verlag, developed through exhibitions at ifa Galleries and reflecting on the ifa art collection and its global exhibition histories ▪️The Event of a Thread, published by ifa, highlights the significance of textiles in contemporary art, linking personal and aesthetic narratives to the social and economic structures of a globalised world. ▪️Vielfalt, by Morgane Llanque, Droemer Verlag, is a world history told through the lens of marginalised peoples. From female hunters in the Stone Age to queer emperors and disabled pirates, their stories challenge current historical narratives about patriarchy and white supremacy ▪️Wanderings About History. The Photography of Ulrich Wüst, Spector Books, presents Wüst’s precise photographic observations of urban spaces in the GDR and Eastern Germany, revealing war damage, architectural decay and everyday absurdities as quiet, non‑ideological reflections on social change ▪️How to Love a Homeland, by Oxana Timofeeva, Matthes & Seitz, a key reference point for ifa’s exhibition programme on belonging, displacement, and solidarity. ▪️The Culture of Democracy by Bin Xu, a conceptual study of democracy in its cultural and social dimensions, engaging with one of the ifa Library’s core thematic focuses.

What if fashion is a cultural seismograph that anticipates social shifts? Curator @lotfi_aoulad asks this question in the exhibition 'Diaspora Wonderland. Fashioning Worlds', bringing together five artists whose work explores diasporic perspectives through fashion. The exhibition is in collaboration with @dasrelais , founded by @lotfi_aoulad , creating connections between the arts, communities and wellbeing. ________________________________________ Diaspora Wonderland.

'Diaspora Wonderland' brings together a generation of artists from Afro-Mediterranean diasporas, exploring identity, memory and belonging through the language of fashion. The works presented share a common ground: the stories of countries left behind, family intimacy, the traces of exile, inherited know-how and the images that arise from fragmented memories. 💌 The exhibition is on view until 07.06.26, with two exciting events coming up soon—subscribe to our newsletter to be the first to know. _____________________________________ ✨ Made possible by many hands A special thank you to curator @lotfi_aoulad , whose vision has been carefully developed.
