In the exhibition, visitors move through the virtual world of LuYang, in which an avatar named DOKU appears in six versions. They dance, fight, and die, and as in the comic they can be gods and demons, heroes, warriors, and cyborgs at the same time. Based on LuYang’s parallel world, we will create new characters with superpowers and special characteristics. In the workshop you have a choice: you can recreate a headband of a dojo from the anime Naruto, just like in cosplay, where the goal is to recreate a character as accurately as possible. If you don’t want to commit yourself to any character, you can give free rein to your imagination. Which characters will end up competing against each other?

During a tour of the exhibition, we pay special attention to the diverse patterns on the tiles of the Spanish artist Soledad Sevilla. Inspired by the variety of colors and shapes, we translate our own ideas into abstract and colorful ornaments, which we assemble on large paper webs to form a long frieze.

Superheroes are an inexhaustible source of fantastic stories. But watch out! In the fireworks of explosions, extraordinary abilities, and daring rescue operations, the search for one’s own identity and life’s mission is always at stake. In the exhibition DOKU, LuYang has a gender-neutral avatar take on a wide variety of forms and mixes the Buddhist search for meaning with laser beams and the aesthetics of gaudy video games. In keeping with this, we read from Jacoby & Stuart’s Handbuch für Superhelden, explore the profiles and pop imagery of Sebastien Perez and Benjamin Lacombe, and learn from Elias and Agnes Våhlund’s graphic novel how, with the right book and the right attitude, you can become a superhero yourself. Flying artist or quick-change artist, cape, mask, or camouflage? What would your superpower be and what does it have to do with you? In the workshop that follows, you can become creative and design your own superhero identity.

Why am I alive? Does God really exist? Is there life after death? Birth, life, death—hese are big questions that Lu Yang deals with. World religions such as Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism play a role in her virtual worlds. Together we watch DOKU, in which an avatar is reborn in six different guises. What religious references and stories do we discover and what do they mean? In the workshop, major existential issues will be discussed, which can then be captured in drawings.

The exhibition "ESCRIBIR TODOS SUS NOMBRES" revolves around Spanish women artists and their works from 1960 to today. The Berliner Philharmoniker and the PalaisPopulaire invite children 6 and older to explore the melody of a drawing and the sound of a pencil line. On a musical exhibition expedition, we hum the shape of a sculpture and discover how loud the color red can be. A visit to the exhibition becomes a first concert experience that invites you to participate, but also to listen and watch.

"Abracadabra" — this book is a case. A magic case! Daniel got it from his uncle for his birthday. If you flip through the pages, a few pieces of sugar turn into flying birds in the blink of an eye, and flowers grow out of blocks. Spanish book artist Marta Comín can really work magic. In clear, graphic forms, she hides amazing images that only become visible through the holes and cutouts on the next page. As in the exhibition "ESCRIBIR TODOS SUS NOMBRES", our visual habits are turned upside down with minimalist means. In an interactive reading you can immerse yourself in Marta Comín’s pictorial games and become a magician yourself in the subsequent workshop.
