WAKING VISIONS – Young Women Artists and Surrealism
05.02.2025 | 19:00 – 21:00 Uhr
The Samurai Museum Berlin is proud to present Waking Visions, a groundbreaking exhibition that explores the imaginative worlds of contemporary female artists redefining Surrealism in the 21st century.
2024 marked the centenary of Surrealism, and as Germany prepares to celebrate this movement with major exhibitions in 2025, the Samurai Museum Berlin’s Waking Visions seeks to highlight the often-overlooked contributions of female Surrealists, both past and present. This exhibition underscores the ongoing relevance of Surrealism as a means of exploring identity, society, and the subconscious. Featured artists include Lucia Berlanga, Eliane Diur, Zohar Fraiman, and Yunyoung Kim, each crafting fresh narratives within the Surreal tradition.
In line with its commitment to supporting the arts and community, the Samurai Museum Berlin will donate proceeds from artwork sales to Werk9, a youth cultural center in Berlin-Mitte. Werk9 serves as a hub for cultural exchange, hosting concerts, theatre performances, and participating in an annual exchange program with Shinjuku/Tokyo.
Exhibition Perio: February 05 – March 16, 2025
Opening: February 05, 7-9 PM
