Braunschweig Projects 2025/2026: after movement, after matter

Braunschweig University of Art (HBK Braunschweig) is pleased to announce after movement, after matter—the final exhibition by the fellows and artists in residence of the Braunschweig Projects 2025/2026 fellowship programme.

The exhibition will be on view from January 28 to February 13, 2026, and is curated by Bhavisha Panchia, curatorial fellow of the programme.

after movement, after matter is a group exhibition featuring Abri de Swardt, Alifiyah Imani, Clara Ianni, Grayson Earle, Hsin-Yu Chen, Hyunju Oh, and leo. The exhibition presents artistic positions that embrace research, critical reflection, and speculation. With distinct aesthetic and conceptual registers, the artists respond to how knowledge and experience linger within bodies and landscapes, and how power is held in language, policies and infrastructures. They contend with, and complicate our cultural and political realities, seek out submerged histories traditions, and listen out for narratives that persist at the margins. after is tendered as a way of recognising the forms, sounds, actions and gestures that endure, and whose traces, residues and resonances are reckoned with—on both a planetary and personal level. Together, the artworks extend the imaginative possibilities of sound, image, and material, inviting visitors to encounter discrete perspectives and positionalities.
