For the international group exhibition O Quilombismo at Berlin’s renowned Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW), production and consulting support focused on the integration of Demond Melancon’s work into a broader discourse of global cultural and political resistance. The project included curatorial advising, cross-cultural stakeholder communications, and logistical planning for the transport, display, and contextual framing of the artist’s beaded works. As a key liaison between the artist and curators, efforts ensured that the work’s cultural lineage and aesthetic complexity were preserved within the exhibition’s ambitious, research-driven framework. Supported by the German Federal Cultural Foundation, the project demanded a nuanced understanding of international institutional standards while remaining grounded in the artist’s community-based practice. From installation through public engagement, the collaboration emphasized historical continuity, cross-cultural solidarity, and a shared vision for radical imagination through art.

HKW is a museum located in Berlin and is guided by the quest for strategies of how to live and better inhabit this world together.  It is a house in which cultures of conviviality and hospitality are sown, nurtured to blossoming, and disseminated.  This exhibit was funded by the Kulturstiftung des Bundes (German Federal Cultural Foundation).
