The exhibition A Kind of Paradise – Colonial-Era Photography in Contemporary Art showcases works by twenty internationally acclaimed artists drawing on historical imagery. Both poetic and visionary, the works explore how colonial imagery continues to define identity, history, and belonging. In doing so, they reveal how art can act as a healing force.
One is left with a question: what if these imaginary worlds came true?

How can you print luxury? In Japan de luxe – The Art of Surimono, Museum Rietberg draws us into the fascinating world of a unique Japanese art form: surimono. Although surimono literally translates to ‘printed things’, these colour woodblock prints are far more than just that. They bring together artfully arranged visual worlds, imaginative poetry, and exquisite craftsmanship to create works that are the epitome of luxury – opulent, detailed and luminously coloured. Let yourself be enchanted by these rare Japanese treasures and discover how traditional craft and poetry can meld to form miniature works of art.
