March 25 - June 28, 2026: Memory in Action: Marcelo Brodsky
Marcelo Brodsky is one of the most important artists in Latin America today. As a photographer, visual artist and international human rights activist, his work focuses in particular on visual language and memory. The Kunsthaus is showing a selection of his works from March 26 to June 28, 2026.
Human rights violations have been and remain a central theme in Marcelo Brodsky’s art. Marcelo Brodsky gained international recognition with his series “Buena Memoria” (1997), which addresses the deportation and murder of some of his classmates and his brother Fernando Brodsky during the military dictatorship in Argentina.
Further series followed, including “1968 – The Fire of Ideas,” “Africa in the Struggle for Freedom,” “Migrants,” and “Traces of Violence.” The Kunsthaus presents a selection of his works.
The exhibition is curated by Professor Dr. Márcio Seligmann-Silva. It is taking place in cooperation with the Jewish Museum Frankfurt as part of the project “MISHPOCHA: The Art of Collaboration.”
