Superheroes

13.9.2024 - 11.5.2025

The eternal battle of good versus evil: superheroes have been saving the world for around 100 years.

Superheroes embody the wishes, dreams and hopes of humanity and are a collective vision created to defend democracy. These characters have not only become part of a universal pop culture, but have also been successfully integrated into our everyday lives – from fancy dress costumes to mindset coaching for business heroes.

In our increasingly fragile world, isn’t there a need for new superheroes who can serve as representatives of universal values and guardians of peace and justice?

Made in Düsseldorf #6

Licht und Schatten

13.9. - 27.10.2024

Made in Düsseldorf is an exhibition series by the Stadtsparkasse Düsseldorf in cooperation with the NRW-Forum. It is dedicated to contemporary artists who are connected to Düsseldorf and the Rhineland through their studies, their place of residence or their artistic content. The sixth exhibition, titled Licht und Schatten (Light and Shadow), runs from 13 September to 27 October 2024 and presents photographic works from the Stadtsparkasse Düsseldorf’s collection by Janice Guy, Martina Sauter, Elger Esser, Anna Vogel, Eileen Quinlan and Frauke Dannert. All of the artists negotiate the limitations and possibilities of photography and illustrate the many different shades of the medium.

The NRW-Forum Düsseldorf is reinventing itself. Thanks to you!

We are making the NRW-Forum fit for the future. Help shape a house of pop culture: Events, exhibitions, design, the café, communication - simply everything can and should be rethought! We are inviting seven people to become NRW-Forum Friends (NEFOs for short) and develop ideas for this together with us.
