Please store your bags and backpacks in the lockers during your visit. For safety reasons, bags larger than DIN A4 (approx. 20 × 30 cm), suitcases, backpacks, bulky items, and umbrellas may not be taken into the exhibition rooms.

To this end, Grant works on large sheets of paper, using colored text meant to be both read and viewed. Grant sees herself as a mediator of women’s voices, amplifying them to ensure they are heard. For her project at the Neues Museum, she embarked on a journey of discovery through Nuremberg’s past and present. Four of the eight authors she focused on are from or live in Nuremberg, a city currently reflecting on its history as a city of literature. This exhibition is the first in a German museum to present an artist who bridges the gap between visual art and literature.

To accompany the exhibition, we are offering a multimedia guide providing information and background details on the works, as well as context.
