Exhibition
Münchner Kammerspiele x Der Greif: “Auf nach Woanders / Off to Elsewhere” is an opportunity brought to you by Der Greif in collaboration with the contemporary theater Münchner Kammerspiele.

Münchner Kammerspiele is planning a creative project for the visual campaign of their upcoming season from September 2024 until July 2025, and we are excited to give you the chance to have one of your images as a part of it. This international open call forms the basis for a diverse set of 40 images curated by Çağla İlk – this year’s curator of the German pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennial 2024. The selection will be the foundation for the visual design of Münchner Kammerspiele in the upcoming season. You are invited to challenge and visually enrich the season’s thematic claim of Münchner Kammerspiele, “Auf nach Woanders / Off to Elsewhere”, with your images. One of the most important theaters in Germany for courageous contemporary theater arts, Münchner Kammerspiele bring new, previously unheard voices to the stage to negotiate the urgent issues of our time. The theater’s attitude is open, passionate, and confident - aspiring to be a space that enables its audience to dream about and negotiate our future.

The selected works will be featured by the theater in various ways, including:

Posters throughout Munich’s cityscape and Münchner Kammerspiele

Interior design of Münchner Kammerspiele

Münchner Kammerspiele website & social media

Print and online advertisements

Printed materials, such as folding brochures, season guides, and various postcards

Merchandise, for non-commercial purposes (e.g. t-shirts, bags, matchboxes)
