The curators of "Into the drift and sway" invite you to join a guided tour (in German language) of the exhibition and visit the show together.

Located at the southern entrance to Köllnischer Park, the Bären­zwinger was built on an area that formerly contained a street­ cleaning depot with a public restroom. The proximity of a park, the nearby banks of the Spree river, a former public bathing house and records of 1920s homosex­ual venues in the bear pit’s neighbourhood suggest queer stories.
Drawing from this historical constellation giving rise to rumours of the site’s pre­vious use as a cruising area, six contemporary artists address mas­culinities and questions of crui­sing and gender, hereby reflecting and claiming space for desire in the private and public sphere.

From Monday, November 15, the 2G regulation is valid for the visit in the Bärenzwinger. Please bring the proof of vaccination or recovery with you.

We additionally ask you to please wear a mask while visiting the exhibition.
