we invite: exhibition O IHR MENSCHEN
period
21.09.2025 - 08.02.2026
opening
SU 21.09.2025, 11:30
location
MUSEUM HAUS OPHERDICKE I Dorfstraße 29, 59439 Holzwickede
On display are works from the 1920s and 1930s that portray people and their environment with a clear, often unsparing gaze – in prints, photographs and drawings.
These historical works enter into dialogue with contemporary photographs from index.kollektiv, whose documentary, Neue Sachlichkeit perspective revisits the tension between individual experience and social reality. It is a perspective that reveals rather than judges – raising questions about responsibility, impact and ethics in human activity.
The exhibition asks: What can humans create – in terms of good, beautiful and meaningful things? And what in terms of destructive, disturbing and hurtful things? How do humans change the world – and how do they change themselves in it? O IHR MENSCHEN invites visitors to engage in a multi-layered debate.
The exhibition will open on Sunday, 21 September, at 11:30 a.m. in the barn of MUSEUM HAUS OPHERDICKE. All interested parties are cordially invited.

we invite: exhibition RESTLESS MINDS during f² Fotofestival
period
13.06. - 25.06.2025

AD(H)S is a well-known phenomenon, but women are often diagnosed late. While it is associated with hyperactivity in men, the symptoms in women usually manifest themselves more subtly, for example through inner restlessness or chronic excessive demands. The late diagnosis can have considerable consequences for self-image, career and social relationships.
The multimedia photography exhibition ‘RESTLESS MINDS’ by index.kollektiv e.V. is dedicated to AD(H)S in women in adulthood. In collaboration with ADHS Dortmund e.V., the works on display shed light on individual symptoms, adaptation strategies and social expectations.
The exhibition invites visitors to engage with the stories on display and to look at AD(H)S beyond the usual clichés. Photographs, texts and participatory elements combine documentation with personal experience and make the effects of AD(H)S in everyday life emotionally tangible. ‘RESTLESS MINDS’ challenges stereotypical perceptions and visualises the diversity of symptoms.
We are index.kollektiv e.V. - an association of six documentary photographers who are dedicated to social issues.

How has the identity of Russian immigrants in Europe changed? What are the advantages or disadvantages of a child growing up on a self-sustainable farm? What do mental illnesses have to do with art?
From 16 May to 1 June, we are exhibiting our work at Kulturort Depot Dortmund e.V. with the title "Volume 1". Our six photographic positions show a wide range and diversity of documentary works. They are focussed on people, examining how individual circumstances and the past influence how we think, feel and live today. What unites the exhibited work is the personal connection to the projects.
