Hi, I'm Mina, a filmmaker and photographer from Cologne. I clicked through the Photoszene 2025 program for you and these exhibitions particularly appealed to me:

ISOLE NERE
by Luna Rigolli shows photographs of Italian volcanic islands such as Stromboli, Ustica and Pantelleria. She captures the barren beauty and mysterious atmosphere of these landscapes in a quiet, meditative visual language.
Leaving Lagos
Artist Anne Nwanneka gives personal insights into life and memories between continents.
EVERY BODY HERE deals sensitively with belonging, queer existence and safe spaces.
NO SOLDIER HAS RETURNED FROM WARthe exhibition touches us with its critical examination of the psychological scars of war experiences.
Each of these exhibitions promises new perspectives in its own way - be it through intimate photographic narratives, political statements or experimental visual languages. They are thought-provoking, emotionally moving and open up spaces for important social dialogs. I can recommend them to anyone who not only wants to see photography, but also to feel and understand it.
