Images are everywhere: in books, on posters, on social media, in advertising, and in museums. They often seem self-evident—as if they simply show "how it is." But images never just tell us what we see. They also tell us how we should see something. They show some things clearly—and let others disappear. We invite you to examine the use and content of images during a tour through the current exhibitions by Akosua Viktoria Adu-Sanyah and Nolan Lucidi. Can images be objective? Who is visible in the images? Who is missing? How are bodies represented—strong, beautiful, foreign, vulnerable, anonymous? And what does it mean when a body is not visible at all?

In the studio, you will experiment with your own images: photos, drawings, or collages will be altered, figures cut out, image sections rearranged, spaces reassembled. What remains when something is missing? Does the image become quieter, louder, more mysterious? Does it begin to tell new stories?

The afternoon for families is a drop-in and takes place in German. No advance registration required.

The tour is included in the admission price and takes place in German.

Using light experiments, we will stage selected artworks and ask how our view of art changes. In doing so, we sharpen not only our vision but also our other senses. If you like, you can bring your own light sources (e.g., desk lamp, headlamp) to experiment with!

Elo Göldi (no pronouns/they) was born and raised in St. Gallen. At business school, Elo became interested in theater, which led to dramaturgy studies (2016-2021) at Zurich University of the Arts. Today, Elo works as a dramaturg, educator, and author. Since the 2025/26 season—the first season of the Katabulut-Sanchez directorship—Elo co-leads the Young Schauspielhaus at Schauspielhaus Zürich with Lea Niedermann (netzwerk wildi blaatere) and Johanna Benrath (netzwerk wildi blaatere).

Participation in the workshop is also possible for people with visual impairments or who react strongly to light stimuli. To make the on-site experience as pleasant as possible, we ask you to contact us for a preliminary discussion so that we can accommodate the person's needs and avoid any barriers.

The workshop takes place in German and is led by Elo Göldi with the support of Mara Danz, Head of Art Education at Kunsthaus Glarus.

Quinn Latimer is a California-born writer and editor whose work frequently engages with feminist economies of writing, reading, and moving image production. Her books include Like a Woman: Essays, Readings, Poems (Sternberg Press, 2017), Sarah Lucas: Describe This Distance (Mousse Publishing, 2013), Film as a Form of Writing: Quinn Latimer Talks to Akram Zaatari (WIELS/Motto Books, 2013), and Rumored Animals (Dream Horse Press, 2012). Her texts and readings have been presented widely, including at REDCAT, Los Angeles; Chisenhale Gallery, London; Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art, Rotterdam; Radio Athènes, Athens; the Poetry Project, New York; the Venice Architecture Biennale; and Sharjah Biennale 13. She is editor of numerous publications and was chief editor of publications for documenta 14. She has taught at institutions including Haute École d'Arts Appliqués HEAD in Geneva, Zurich University of the Arts ZHdK, Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art in Saas-Fee and Berlin, and The Banff Centre in Canada. Since 2020, she has been a lecturer in the master's program of the Institute Art Gender Nature HGK FHNW in Basel.

Yann Slattery (lives and works in Basel) is a dancer, performer, choreographer, stripper, community organizer, and visual artist. With a bachelor's degree in fashion design and a master's degree in Art Gender Nature (HGK), their work deliberately moves between disciplines. In 2022–23, they co-curated the queer film series *Starsign Screenings* at Amore Basel together with Renée Steffen and Peter Wili; since 2025, Yann has been organizing the queer-trans strip club Kiss My Ass in Zurich with other queer strippers and sex workers. Together with Yevheniya Kravets, Yann Slattery forms the performance duo Husbands. Their works PLAYBOIS (2023) and SERVING TOY BOI / BOI TOY SERVING (2025) combine gaming worlds and performance and use performance as a tool for un//masking. They have shown their work in Sweden (Norberg Festival), Birmingham (Fierce Festival), Zurich (Rote Fabrik, Zentralwäscherei), Basel (Humbug), and Vienna (Performative Screenings—School). Yann's choreographic works include the performance piece Tanga Tragedy (2022, Transboahalle Basel, Amore Basel)—a theatrical exploration of that simultaneously intimate and exposed garment, a tragedy written for 11 thong personalities in 10 acts, which are never shown numerically.

The reading and the discussions will be in English.
