Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg Explores Home and Belonging in 'Tell Me Where Home Is'

The Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg has opened the thematic exhibition 'Tell Me Where Home Is,' featuring around 160 works by 61 contemporary artists. The show examines the intensely debated concepts of home (German: Heimat, pl.: Heimaten), migration, and belonging in the twenty-first century. It questions whether home is a geographical place or rather a feeling, memory, or illusion, and how people continually create new homes amid globalization and digitization. The exhibition highlights that war, persecution, and the climate crisis force millions to leave their homes, while only a small fraction enjoys mobility as a cosmopolitan lifestyle. Through these artworks, the museum explores how individuals find a sense of home in a turbulent world, addressing the longing for home that persists even in globalized and digitized societies.
