Coco Fusco—Tomorrow, I Will Become an Island

Coco Fusco—Tomorrow, I Will Become an Island is the first major retrospective of Cuban-American artist Coco Fusco (b. 1960, US) in Germany. For more than three decades, she has been a key voice in discourses on racial representation, feminism, postcolonial theory, and institutional critique. The exhibition seeks to trace the profound influence that Fusco’s work has had on the contemporary art discourse in Germany and the world. To do so, it features a broad selection of the artist’s videos, photography, texts, and performances from the 1990s to the present day. 

To unfold Fusco’s multidisciplinary practice further, KW Institute for Contemporary Art and ICI Berlin collaborate on a series of talks. In addition, KW has commissioned Fusco to create a new multimedia-performance, which will be staged in collaboration with Sophiensaele early December 2023. 

The exhibition is funded by Kulturstiftung des Bundes (German Federal Cultural Foundation). Kulturstiftung des Bundes (German Federal Cultural Foundation) is funded by the Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien (German Federal Commissioner for Culture and the Media).
