Cengiz Tekin at Kunstmuseum Ahlen’s group exhibition Süße Heimat (15/11/2025)
Cengiz Tekin will take part in Süße Heimat: Deutsch-Türkisches Leben in der Kunst, a major group exhibition at Kunstmuseum Ahlen, on view from November 15, 2025, to March 1, 2026.
The exhibition reflects on over six decades of migration from Türkiye to Germany since the signing of the 1961 labor recruitment agreement. What began as temporary work opportunities often turned into permanent resettlement, shaping new identities and shared cultural landscapes. Featuring 16 renowned artists, Süße Heimat explores the notion of “home” through memories of what was left behind, the hopes and difficulties of beginning anew in a foreign culture, and the oscillations between different traditions and worlds. Curated by Prof. Dr. Burcu Doğramacı and Prof. Dr. Marta Smolińska, the exhibition highlights the complex, emotional, and cultural narratives of migrant life and belonging.
