"KRISIS" explores the wide range of critical experiences that are deemed "crises," a term whose origins lie in Greek. In its first uses in English, “crisis” was used by doctors to denote a turning point in a disease, when either death or recovery became imminent. Today, the phenomenon takes on multiple meanings; there are midlife crises, identity crises, financial crises, and of course, the corona crisis.

The exhibition features individual projects produced by each of the students, who come from a wide range of backgrounds. Some works focus on the pandemic and its ramifications, while others delve into societal and personal crises related to topics such as gender identity, career, mental health, and disease.

An accompanying publication will be released on the opening night of the exhibition, featuring work by the same group of students. The publication was produced with facilitation from photographer, writer and educator, Jörg Colberg.
