Mischa Leinkauf
Utopia. The Right to Hope
Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, Germany
Sep 27, 2025 – Jan 11, 2026

The exhibition “Utopia. The Right to Hope” sends a message of hope, emphasizing the right to a livable future for all humans and non-human beings. Through artistic ideas, suggestions, and visions, the exhibition opens new spaces for thinking about our own perspectives, alternative paths and options for action, and the possibilities for a different, more just and sustainable world to which we can all contribute at any time.

The group exhibition includes Mischa Leinkauf’s Fiktion einer Nicht-Einreis which addresses the supposed insurmountability of national borders, including those between Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, as well as those in the Mediterranean between Spain and Morocco. While the respective borders are guarded and secured militarily on land based on political agreements, a seemingly boundless landscape reveals itself underwater. As a diver, the artist undermined the “architectures of partition,” as Leinkauf puts it, and created a space of freedom far removed from territorial control.
