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?

SEX NOW

5.9.2025 - 3.5.2026

Sex can be beautiful, exciting, provocative and political. With the exhibition ‘SEX NOW’, we invite the visitors to rediscover sexuality in all its complexity. A central starting point of the exhibition is the observation that the sex industry has changed in recent years from a predominantly male-dominated industry to a more female-dominated industry.

From latex fashion, furniture design, queer photography, media art and Japanese woodcuts to dolls, machines and toys: In eleven themed rooms, the exhibition stages an intimate, critical and creative dialogue about sexuality and society, telling of erotic fantasies and new realities.

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.
