Ich bin schön
Role: Co-Curator

Group exhibition featuring photographic works from the Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie (OKS), developed and curated by the OKS Photo Editors Class of 2025/2026 under the direction of Nadja Masri and in collaboration with Annette Hempfling.

Ran from December 2025 to March 2026, alongside paintings by students from Anke Doberauer’s class (Academy of Fine Arts Munich) at the Pasinger Fabrik.

Excerpt from the exhibition text:

“I am beautiful” − a statement that provokes, unsettles, and empowers.

A claim that seems as fragile as it is powerful.

The photographic series explore these tensions and open our eyes to a multifaceted spectrum of beauty − often beyond conventional ideals. We encounter bodies that defy traditional attributions, challenge gender boundaries, or present aging as a visible mark of dignity and experience.
