Dea Tcholokava spent a six-month Goethe-Institut scholarship at the documenta archive in Kassel in 2025. There she researched traces of Georgian artists in the history of documenta and connected this search with her own observations on migration. The core of the studio exhibition is her 18-minute film essay From Countless Sleepless Nights, a poetic film diary about foreignness, belonging, and identity - interwoven with city walks, archival finds, and unexpected protagonists like the Kassel raccoons. The film is complemented by selected archival materials from the history of documenta, such as those related to Jonas Mekas, Olu Oguibe, Georgij Schengelaia, Pavel Braila, or Hans Haacke, creating a dialogue between personal research and institutional memory. Tcholokava lives in Berlin and Tbilisi, works as a filmmaker and editor, and has been represented internationally at festivals with her documentaries. Her latest short film What Does the Mud Whisper premiered in Krakow in 2025 and has received multiple awards.

From February 28 to April 26, 2026 Phil Hubbe – Please take it a bit more seriously! The Caricatura Gallery will showcase a major solo exhibition of the cartoonist Phil Hubbe from February 28 to April 26, 2026. His cartoons tackle everyday life, politics, and football – pointedly, honestly, and always with humor. The artist Phil Hubbe, born in 1966, has been working as a freelance cartoonist since 1992 and publishes among others in daily newspapers and in kicker. Since his MS diagnosis, he has made disabilities a central theme of his art – with dark humor instead of sentimentality. Disabled Cartoons At the center are Hubbe's “Disabled Cartoons,” including the cult series MS Rainer. The exhibition openly addresses topics that are often taboo and shows how humor can break down barriers and open up new perspectives. It is complemented by pictogram parodies and comments from his online guestbook. Barrier-free presentation For the first time, selected cartoons will be shown as tactile “Touchprints.” In addition, the works are hung lower to make them more accessible for wheelchair users. Visitors can provide feedback on the presentation height.
