LiTE-HAUS BERLIN November Group Show: YOUR IMPERFECT SELF / Not Social Media Material

Title & Description

LiTE-HAUS BERLIN November Group Show: "YOUR IMPERFECT SELF / Not Social Media Material" — International Open Call

LiTE-HAUS Galerie has opened applications for its November 2026 exhibition "YOUR IMPERFECT SELF / Not Social Media Material." Investigating what exists outside the polished, algorithmically curated images people present online, the exhibition seeks backstage experiments, unfinished thoughts, awkward works, accidents, and vulnerable creations. Applicants are required to answer: "Why would you hesitate to share this work publicly?"—a response that will be displayed alongside the artwork. Conceived as an evolving project, the digital exhibition will serve as a connecting thread as the physical show travels to collaborating galleries across European cities.
