Heba Y. Amin at Museum für Gegenwartskunst Siegen: For the Birds (04/07/2025)
From July 4 to November 9, 2025, Museum für Gegenwartskunst Siegen presents For the Birds, a group exhibition featuring Heba Y. Amin. The exhibition explores the complex cultural meanings of birds throughout human history and in contemporary society.
Birds have been seen as celestial messengers in many cultures, symbolizing freedom, power, and speed, and have long been the focus of religious, economic, political, and scientific interest. By connecting natural habitats and contributing to ecosystems, birds also enhance human well-being through their presence in public spaces.
Curated by Thomas Thiel, For the Birds invites visitors to a visual and auditory experience, addressing ecological, philosophical, social, and political questions through art. The exhibition offers a rich perspective on the cultural significance of birds in contemporary art narratives.
