Open Call: Objects and stories about love and separation
Open Call: We are looking for objects and stories about love and separation.
For the exhibition 'The beginning, the end and everything in between. Love Stories'
August 23 - November 16, 2025, Klingspor Museum Offenbach and House of City History Offenbach
Opening on August 22, 2025
Open Call: Love Stories
Summer in Offenbach is all about love in all its facets!
250 years ago, Johann Wolfgang Goethe and his first fiancée Elisabeth (Lili) Schönemann fell in love in Offenbach, only to break up again a few months later.
An exhibition at the Klingspor Museum and the Haus der Stadtgeschichte traces this story and also asks how love and pain are told today.
In addition to numerous artistic works, the exhibition will also show the stories of different people, which is why we are inviting people to take part.
We are looking for
- Objects that are connected to a relationship story, for better or for worse.
- The stories about the object. A few lines will suffice, but you can also write in detail.
We look forward to individual stories from different relationship concepts!
Submission until May 11, 2025
Deadline: May 11, 2025
