We warmly invite you and your friends to the opening of the exhibition Hidden History \u2013 Facets of Subculture in Frankfurt Rhine-Main<\/em> at the Frankfurter Kunstverein.<\/p>\n

The Frankfurter Kunstverein has invited the Diamant \/ Museum for Urban Culture from Offenbach to the Steinerne Haus at the R\u00f6merberg to realise the exhibition Hidden History<\/em> together.\u00a0The exhibition is dedicated to key figures, artists and activists from the Rhine-Main region who have shaped Frankfurt\u2019s cultural landscape over decades.<\/p>\n

The focus is on public space\u00a0as a site where subculture takes shape. Over the four-week duration of the exhibition, actions, dance performances, hip-hop evenings, artist-led tours and urban storytelling by key protagonists of Frankfurt\u2019s cultural scene will offer new perspectives on the vibrant life of the city.<\/p>\n

At 6 pm, Franziska Nori, Director of the Frankfurter Kunstverein, and Heiner Blum, curator of the exhibition, will give opening remarks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exhibition opens with a performative prologue: artist and activist Oguz Sen and choreographer and performer Honji Wang\u00a0have jointly developed a participatory work at the intersection of drawing and performance. La La Land \u2013 Aufh\u00f6ren anzufangen<\/em> is conceived as an open system, sustained by collective participation and continuous transformation. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The performance that activates the space together with students from the Rudolf Koch School in Offenbach and dancers Caterina Politi and Marco Di Nardo can be experienced during the exhibition opening at 7 and 9 pm. <\/strong>Without a fixed choreography, movement emerges from presence, encounter and situation. Performers and participants share the space on equal terms\u2014between action and stillness, decision and openness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oguz Sen<\/u> is an activist working in public space, engaging in social and political discourse. Through his large-scale murals, he addresses political issues and social injustices. His well-known works include a mural at Frankfurt\u2019s Osthafen dedicated to Alan Kurdi, who drowned in the Mediterranean in 2015 while fleeing Syria, as well as a 27-metre-long painting beneath the Friedensbr\u00fccke commemorating the victims of the racist attack in Hanau, realised together with the \u201cKollektiv ohne Namen\u201d.<\/p>\n

Honji Wang<\/u> is a choreographer and performer shaped by hip-hop underground culture. Raised in Frankfurt as the daughter of Korean immigrants, she is a self-taught artist who developed her practice outside institutional frameworks. Her work emerges from lived experience, where movement becomes a form of knowledge\u2014rooted in breakdance, martial arts, and the physical realities of discipline, labor, and resilience. Across her choreographic and performative work, Wang is interested in the body as a site of memory, contradiction, and transformation.<\/p>\n

The opening event, including access to the performance, is free of charge and open to the public.<\/p>\n

We look forward to welcoming you!<\/p>\n
