Latefa Wiersch
Hannibal
19 January – 13 April 2025
The exhibition by Latefa Wiersch evolves around the Hannibal II housing estate in Dortmund Dorstfeld where the artist grew up in the 1980s/90s. Its architecture is not only the scenery to her stopmotion film Original Features, but also becomes the spatious backdrop for roughly sewn, textile dolls in the exhibition space. In narrative arrangements, the dolls reflect postmigrant identities: uncanny doppelgangers of the artist and her social environment, they are at the same time new beings with familiar attributes from pop culture and diverse references to contemporary history.
Latefa Wiersch’s new performance that will take place in April, will activate the exhibition’s Hannibal architecture as a protective and threatening colossus, blurring the line between human bodies and textile dolls. The performance is part of the Dortmund Goes Black 2025 festival on 12th of April 2025
