Un/Settled Futurities: Diasporic Re/Imaginaries
Image and Body Politics in Film, Performance, and Mixed-Media Practices

March 20 – May 3, 2026


Kunstverein Pforzheim, Germany

https://www.e-flux.com/announcements/6787157/un-settled-futurities-diasporic-re-imaginaries


Curated by
Marina Grzinic (Ljubljana) and Elisa R. Linn (Berlin)

With the participation of
Asma Aiad
Frau Diamanda / Héctor Acuña with Pol Comelles Marina Grzinic with Aina 
Smid Maša Guštin featuring Yevgeny Yufit (1961–2016) Anahita Neghabat 
Elisa R. Linn featuring Counter-Public Spheres in the German Democratic 
Republic (GDR)


The newly appointed artistic directors of Kunstverein Pforzheim im 
Reuchlinhaus, Janusz Czech and Daria Schroth, present the large-scale 
international group exhibition Un/Settled Futurities: Diasporic 
Re/Imaginaries. The interdisciplinary exhibition explores the 
complexities of identity, survival strategies, and modes of existence 
through the lenses of diaspora, memory, and futurity.
Bringing together film, performance, and mixed-media practices, the 
exhibition addresses radical historical interventions in art and civil 
society, as well as exclusions and closures produced by 
imperial-colonial security regimes. It engages themes such as travesti 
uprisings, political mimesis, and insurgent forms of politics.

In cooperation with A.K.T;—a space for societal discourse and an 
interdisciplinary laboratory for the future engaged with pressing 
socio-political questions—the Kunstverein has developed an accompanying 
program Encountering Futures: Lectures, Conversations, and Reflections.

Conceived in collaboration with Marina Grzinic and Elisa R. Linn, this 
program serves as an active, performative platform for knowledge 
production, collective thinking, and the articulation of possible 
futures.

Participating speakers include:
Asma Aiad
Elisa R. Linn
Frau Diamanda / Héctor Acuña
Pol Comelles
Marina Grzinic
Masa Gustin
Silke Helmerdig
Klaus Theweleit
