Schedule
Kavachi rolls out a red patchwork carpet for all those arriving in Munich, wanting to stay in Germany, in front of the immigration authorities’ building. The GGGNHM hosts an Artist’s Talk.
Visual artist Kavachi collects fabrics and secondhand clothing, then incorporates them into his work to give them a new narrative. In the GGGNHM he will talk about several works dealing with the notion of migration, queer, language, care and labour.
