Anti-bourgeois, anarchist, and pacifist, Dada, with its sharp eye and biting satire, offered social criticism, questioning prevailing values ​​as well as political and social conditions and dynamics, especially those that had led to the catastrophe of the First World War. To mark its 110th anniversary, “Unlock your heads at last!” celebrates the Dada art movement and demonstrates the continued relevance of its political engagement.

On the occasion of International Press Freedom Day, the Museum Center for Persecuted Arts presents the exhibition "Freedom in Word, Truth in Image" at the German Embassy in Moscow. Featuring books, images, and documents from the museum's collection, the exhibition looks back at the 19th century and the catastrophes of the 20th century.

In the summer of 2025, Ukrainian photo artist Hanna Melnykova emigrated from Germany to Ukraine and documented her “performative walk” photographically. The exhibition shows her engagement with migration, resilience, and cultural ties in the current geopolitical landscape. The symbolic meaning of this walk: It represents life itself. The route set for the project illustrates the borders between nations and embodies the gap between past and future as well as personal and collective transformation.
