Flight, trauma and longing are the central themes of the exhibition “Ten Lives” by Delschad Numan Khorschid and Jan-Hendrik Pelz at the Museum Villa Stuck. Delschad Numan Khorschid, a member of the ensemble at Munich’s Residenztheater, processes the traumatic memories of his solitary flight as a Kurd from Iraq to Germany through paintings, photographs and texts. Jan-Hendrik Pelz draws attention to the fates of migrants and the associated traumas through large-format, mostly photorealistic paintings and sculptures. Against the backdrop of current socio-political debates, in which migration is often reduced to mere figures and calls for rejection and restrictions, this exhibition creates a space for empathy and understanding. In the current climate of feeling unwelcome, the works in this exhibition are a moving and powerful call for greater humanity.
