MUNSTER.- Rosa Tharrats’ solo exhibition at Kunsthalle Münster is the first presentation of works by the Catalan artist in Germany. Her work is characterised by a reflection on community networks, cohesion and sustainability; this runs through her sculptures, installations, performances and videos in different ways. The artist invites us to reconsider our relationship with the world around us as well as to recognise the intrinsic value of each element as a constant reminder of the continuous flow inherent in the cycles of life. In her sculptures, we experience not only the sensual and spiritual interplay of materials and forms, but also the pulse of life that stimulates vitality to grow and flourish. Recurring themes in her works are transformation, symbiosis, process, composition, grass roots, the connection between microscopic and macroscopic life, the visible and the invisible, the exploration of the subtle balance between materials, the contrast between that which evaporates, that which is wild and that which remains. Tharrats draws attention to the vulnerability of nature, especially the waters and oceans and the many communities that depend on their well-being, and presents material cultures and technologies based on coexistence and care. The exhibition attempts to create practical and poetic tools for a dynamic reconciliation of action and imagination to address the pressing social and environmental challenges of our time.

Jonathas de Andrade: Olho da Rua [Out Loud]
May 24–July 20,2025
Stadthausgalerie Münster, Platz des Westfälischen Friedens, 48143 Münster

Olho da Rua [Out Loud] is the first solo exhibition of the Brazilian artist Jonathas de Andrade in a German institution. In his installations, photographs and videos, he deals with power dynamics and conflicts, particularly in north-east Brazil and in Recife, where he lives and works. The consequences of colonialism, slavery and modernist culture on Brazilian society play a decisive role. At the centre of the exhibition is Andrade’s film Olho da Rua [Out Loud] (2022), in which Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed meets the streets of Recife, with the public space appearing as a place of community and agitation. For his film, the artist portrayed a temporary community of homeless people living in the city centre of Recife. He invited them to take part in a series of exercises inspired by the Theatre of the Oppressed. In eight acts, de Andrade has staged a series of performative actions focusing on collective dynamics and gazing practice in the public arena. On the boundary between fiction and documentary, the actors become engaged in debates about identity, care, family, class consciousness and social and political visibility through their actions and words. In the Stadthausgalerie the film is complemented by the artist’s newly created installation Arvore do Teatro do Olho da Rua [Street’s Eye Theater Tree] (2025).
