WMW Contemporary
New perspectives at the Weltmuseum Wien
With WMW Contemporary, the Weltmuseum Wien launches a new format that brings its historical collections into dialogue with current social and cultural issues. In collaboration with international artists – particularly from the Global South and the diaspora – it aims to offer new perspectives, amplify marginalized voices, and critically challenge dominant narratives.
The three autumn exhibitions – Tabita Rezaire. Calabash Nebula: Cosmological Tales of Connection, The Colours of the Earth. Modern Textile Art in Mexico and Indah Arsyad. The Ultimate Breath – mark the beginning of this innovative series. In their works, the invited artists reflect on global environmental issues, neo-colonialism, identity and the relationships between Western science, indigenous knowledge and mythology. WMW Contemporary positions the Welmuseum Wien once more as a place of debate, exchange and polyphonic memory.
