Kunsthalle Basel

mittwoch-matinee: Lydia Ourahmane, in German

27 January 2021 | 10.00 AM - 12.00 PM

A ransom, an illicit border crossing, an exchange of nationality: Transactions of different sorts are often the conceptual starting point for Lydia Ourahmane’s (* 1992) art. In an interactive tour, the multifaceted works of the artist will be discovered and, in doing so, the often complex histories that lie behind them will be traced.

CHF 10/5*

*for children/teenagers up to 16 years
