Ugandan artist Acaye Kerunen presents her first solo museum exhibition in Germany, titled 'Apoi,' at the Kunstmuseen Krefeld. The show, installed across the modernist spaces of Haus Lange and Haus Esters, features handwoven textiles, sculpture, sound, and film that draw on Indigenous knowledge systems and intergenerational exchange. It is part of the museum's ongoing 'HL HE Dialog: What Comes After Art' series.
Kerunen's work repositions art as a living practice of care, collective labor, and continuity, challenging conventional notions of authorship and product. By centering material knowledge and the poetics of return, the exhibition proposes that the future of art lies not in its end but in a deliberate reweaving of social and ecological relations, making art inseparable from the conditions that sustain life.
