Valentina Karga
Well Beings

24.3.23 – 3.9.23

In the exhibition "Well Beings" at the MK&G, artist, architect and designer Valentina Karga (b. 1986 in Chalkidiki, Greece) deals with the fears triggered by ecological crises. Based on her own experience with such anxieties, she has developed an interactive parcours that invites visitors to try out for themselves various exhibits inspired by popular self-care objects. These include hug pillows and weighted blankets as well as oversized plush toys that are blown-up versions of small figurines from the museum’s Antiquities Collection.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a public programme (see details below), "Well Beings in Times of Climate Anxiety", conceived by Seda Yildiz and Valentina Karga. The supporting programme is a project of HFBK Hamburg and the Hamburg Open Online University (HOOU).
