Under the title “From a Good House”, the artists Omar Al-Kaissi, Sandra Kirsheh and Suzuka Hisamatsu present some of their current work as part of the Salon of Cultures. The exhibition opening will take place on the 13th of June 2019 at 6 p.m. in EDUCULT’s gallery room. The Exhibition was curated by Osama Zatar.

The exhibition “From a Good House”, part of the series Salon of Cultures, handles art with regard to social conventions and social conditions. The parents’ house has a considerable influence on the possibilities of (hopeful) artists. Historically, it has hardly been possible to become an artist if you do not come from a “good home” and – even today – it’s not easy without the appropriate ideational and financial support. What does this mean for art? How does family background influence artistic creation? What does “from a good home” actually mean? And isn’t support also about being open to what one’s own child does and learning about the future from one’s own child? A very personal exhibition on social questions in art that begin with one’s own family.
