Between Images and Stories: Helga Gebert at the GRIMMWELT
The exhibition BETWEEN SHAPES | Helga Gebert at the GRIMMWELT Kassel opens a poetic view of storytelling as an artistic process. As the first comprehensive solo exhibition of the artist, it makes visible how illustrations, fairy tale worlds, and biographical traces intertwine and continually reshape stories. The exhibition runs from June 12, 2026, to January 24, 2027; the venue is the GRIMMWELT Kassel at Weinbergstraße 21. ([grimmwelt.de](https://www.grimmwelt.de/en/visitor-guide))
Helga Gebert: Image Poetry Between Fairy Tales, Illustration, and Narration Culture
Helga Gebert is regarded as a formative voice in German-speaking children's and fairy tale book illustration since the 1970s. The GRIMMWELT showcases over 200 works, biographical traces, and interactive stations; thematically, it ranges from Grimm's fairy tales and 1001 Nights to early children's books influenced by the anti-authoritarian movement. The presentation highlights Gebert's work as an illustrator, translator, and author, positioning her art historically in the interplay of image, word, and cultural mediation.

An Artistic Experience with Depth, Play, and Insight
Entering this exhibition, visitors encounter not a rigid object catalog, but a vibrant storytelling space. Biographical insights, a puzzle trail for children, interactive elements, and an exhibition catalog deepen the engagement with the artworks and open access to Gebert's images, characters, and narrative forms. This creates an aesthetic experience that appeals to adults as well as families and young visitors. ([grimmwelt.de](https://www.grimmwelt.de/de/ausstellungen/zwischen-gestalten?utm_source=openai))
The GRIMMWELT as a Place for Cultural Education
The GRIMMWELT Kassel sees itself as the world's largest exhibition house dedicated to the life and work of the Brothers Grimm, connecting collection, mediation, and contemporary culture. Public tours and other offerings from the mediation program are available for the special exhibition; simultaneously, the house offers an audio guide, barrier-free access via the city center path, and a clear visitor structure for individuals, groups, and school classes.
