“For Real For Real” is an exhibition held at DAAD in Berlin in spring 2025 presenting the work of contemporary artists such as Alexandra Bell, Mel Chin, Theaster Gates, Saidiya Hartman, Tuan Andrew Nguyen, Martine Syms, Kara Walker or Carrie Mae Weems, whose practice engages with the ordinariness of our individual lives. In addition, Claudia Rankine will lead community-driven workshops and a publication project focused on storytelling involving students from Bard College Berlin and Dartmouth among others.
