A short description of Leonhardi Culture Projects

Leonhardi Culture Projects organizes exhibitions which provide the public with insights into current positions being taken by artists from crisis regions, and tries by means of cultural exchange to stimulate democratization processes in countries such as Afghanistan, Kosovo, and Iran.

We want to contribute to an improved understanding of these societies rather than just to look at them from the perspective of conflicts and crises. For this reason, we speak of countries like Afghanistan and Kosovo as “vulnerable societies”. The exhibitions also give visitors an opportunity to familiarize themselves with positions currently being taken in contemporary art. In the two selected cases of Afghanistan and Kosovo, these are as different as they could possibly be.
