October 1, 2026, 2:00 p.m.: Accessible guided tour of the exhibition "Grace Schwindt - Autumn Leaves (Witnesses)"
On Thursday, October 1, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., the Kunsthaus is offering a free, accessible guided tour of the exhibition "Grace Schwindt - Autumn Leaves (Witnesses)."
For people with visual impairments and sighted people, with inclusion activist Fabian Lilian Korner and Esther Poppe, cultural mediator.
“Autumn Leaves” is a version of a multi-part work adapted for the Kunsthaus, now being presented in Germany for the first time: “Witnesses (Bones, Leaves and other creatures)” was created in 2022 for the Busan Biennale in South Korea. In it, the artist explores the history of a labor camp in Busan where severe human rights violations took place—violations that have still not been adequately addressed to this day.
The stories of a survivor served as inspiration for the sculptures and the wall embroidery, particularly his perception of the trees on the camp grounds. The leaves of the trees symbolized freedom and hope for him.
Grace Schwindt dyed the ceramic glazes of the sculptures using soil and leaves from the trees at the site. The sculptures allow viewers to experience, in a moving way, both the vulnerability and the resilience of the human body and spirit.
