“Code of Courage” at the Exhibition (In)Visibility of Violence – Shedding Light on Hidden Harms

As part of the exhibition (In)Visibility of Violence at the Kunsthalle Gießen, we’re excited to present our comic “Code of Courage” and a short statement about violence against activists. “The group exhi­bition “(In)Visi­bility of Vio­lence” sheds light on these dy­namics. In con­trast to clearly visible vio­lence, such as the bru­tal destruc­tion of buil­dings and cul­tural assets, the sight of civilian casual­ties or ima­ges of never-ending streams of refu­gees, the exhi­bition also focuses on the of­ten in­visible dimen­sions of vio­lence. It is based on a colla­boration be­tween TraCe and the Kunsthalle Giessen and con­tinues investi­gations that were al­ready addressed in the last co­operation as part of the TraCe annual con­ference on “Depictions of Ex­cessive Vio­lence”. The exhibition is cu­rated by Nadia Ismail, Theresa Deichert and Larissa-Diana Fuhrmann.

The exhi­bition will open on August 22, at 7 pm; it can be visited at the Kunsthalle Giessen until No­vember 2, 2025.
