17 October 2026, (Weg)Sehen – Exhibition at Bellevue di Monaco - global dis:connect

the centre
- The Käte Hamburger Research Centre global dis:connect, funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, investigates globalisation as a dynamic process shaped by the interplay of integration, disconnection, and disintegration. Our work focuses on understanding how connections emerge, fail, or remain absent, in both historical and contemporary contexts.
- the centre
research
- global dis:connect approaches globalisation through the lens of dis:connectivity, focusing on absences, detours and interruptions that shape historical and contemporary global processes. Rather than assuming linear integration, we examine the gaps, delays and disruptions that make globalisation uneven and socially significant.
  
  Our research is structured around six key areas – absences, detours, interruptions, laboratories, cultural infrastructures and temporalities – which foster interdisciplinary dialogue without normative assumptions or claims of completeness.
- research
fellows
- The cornerstone of global dis:connect is the fellowship programme, in which approximately ten scholars come to Munich each year. They research dis:connectivity on site and in close contact with the directors and their peers. Fellows also have the opportunity to host workshops on the topics of their research.

17 October 2026, (Weg)Sehen – Exhibition at Bellevue di Monaco

As part of Munich’s Long Night of Museums, global dis:connect and Bellevue di Monaco present “(Weg)Sehen”, an exhibition by thirteen artists with and without experiences of flight or migration.

Date: Saturday, 17 October 2026
Time: from 6 pm
Venue: Bellevue di Monaco, Müllerstraße 2, 80469 Munich
Admission: with a ticket for the Long Night of Munich Museums

Crises, wars and social inequality shape our present. Images of people fleeing their homes reach us every day, but they rarely hold our attention for long. The German title “(Weg)Sehen” plays on the difference between wegsehen (looking away) and sehen (seeing). By crossing out the “away”, the exhibition asks visitors to look more closely.

Thirteen artists with and without experiences of flight or migration show works that offer different perspectives on social realities. The exhibition aims to encourage reflection, foster empathy and strengthen dialogue about responsibility and living together. It is also a place where visitors and artists meet, and the exchange between the artists is meant to continue beyond the exhibition.

The exhibition touches on questions at the heart of our research at global dis:connect: What do flight and migration mean as moments of connection and disconnection? How do they change the way we perceive a globalised world?

Featuring works by: Franziska Windolf, LH, Shaghayegh Chamani, Narges Kalhor, Faieqa Sultani, Mila Zhluktenko, Daniel Faezi Asadi, Marvan Kiki, Nour Kiki, Mario Steigerwald, Max Ott, Susanne Kraus and Ulla Wohlgeschaffen

Organised by: Bellevue di Monaco Sozialgenossenschaft eG
In cooperation with: Münchner Flüchtlingsrat, Käte Hamburger Research Centre global dis:connect and Dr. Otto und Margarete Graber Stiftung gGmbH
