MOMENTUM wins Haupstadtkulturfonds Grant for FRAGMENTS OF EMPIRE

MOMENTUM is proud to announce that we have been awarded Berlin’s Haupstadtkulturfonds Grant for our forthcoming exhibition:
FRAGMENTS OF EMPIRE
Featuring: Kader Attia, Theo Eshetu, Gülsün Karamustafa, and Fiona Pardington

Berlin in the 21st Century sits on the intersection of many immigrant cultures and nations, as people from all over the world flock to the city. In recent years, Berlin has come to be especially known for attracting the world’s leading artists. Equally, Berlin is famous for the wealth of cultural artifacts housed in its museums. This convergence, in this capital city, of creative and historical culture with the world’s migrant cultures is often remarked upon, but it has not yet been closely considered in terms of the convergence of the different colonial legacies of the many populations that inhabit Berlin. Fragments of Empires is thus a timely reflection on the hybridization of cultural practices, and the fact that not only in Berlin, but everywhere in the world, we can all find roots somewhere else.
