Have you already discovered the special letters in the exhibition title Make a travel deep of your inside, and don’t forget me to take? They are inspired by a secret writing system: Nüshu. This script was developed about 600 years ago in China – by women, just for women. It allowed them to exchange ideas about things they weren't allowed to talk openly about with men: worries, everyday life, or even conflicts among themselves.

Deutsche Bank "Artist of the Year", Charmaine Poh, recalls this tradition in her work. Her artwork was inspired by this special bond between women. But how is a secret language actually created? What signs, symbols and meanings are needed for it?

What sounds can you hear in the exhibition? Many works by Charmaine Poh – honored by Deutsche Bank as “Artist of the Year” – focus on the relationship between humankind and nature. Sounds such as rushing water, wind, or forest noises can be discovered in her works. What else do you perceive?

The Berliner Philharmoniker and the PalaisPopulaire invite children in grades 1–3 to embark on a creative sound journey together. Starting with individual works of art, we will go on a musical exhibition tour and compare the sounds of nature with the sounds of instruments. This exhibition visit will thus become a first small concert experience that invites participation, but also careful listening and watching.

In cooperation with Berliner Philharmoniker

Masks can transform us – they let us slip into other roles, hide feelings or make them visible. With a mask, you can be someone completely different: wild, calm, old, young, brave or mysterious. The "Artist of the Year", Charmaine Poh, uses masks in several of her works, which are currently on display in the exhibition. Can you discover them all?

Together, we will take a closer look at some of these works of art and consider the effect the masks have on us. Then it’s your turn: Create your very own mask – imaginative, animalistic or enigmatic.
