When humor becomes an attitude: The exhibition at the Caricatura Kassel
With “Do Jews have nothing to laugh about?”, the Caricatura Gallery Kassel presents an exhibition about Jewish life in challenging times – between dark humor, bitter irony, and thoughtful lightness. The exhibition runs from May 9 to July 19, 2026 at the Caricatura Gallery Kassel and combines cartoon art with a smart perspective on anti-Semitism, fear, and societal polarization.

Between punchlines, pain, and perspective
This exhibition is no easy fare, but that is exactly what makes it appealing: Humor meets reality, wit meets contradiction, drawing meets attitude. According to Caricatura, Jewish and non-Jewish artists reveal how cartoons work in this tension field and prevent Jewish life from being either romanticized or frozen in resignation.

Three rooms, three perspectives
The exhibition is divided into three areas: Jewish life, customs and everyday life; anti-Semitism in Germany; and the Middle East conflict from different perspectives. This is precisely where that special comedy atmosphere arises, inviting viewers not only to chuckle but also to reflect.
