Institute Contemporary is a network that both connects and draws attention to Afro-European artists through exhibitions, seminars, readings and talks. The pre curated selection of emerging and young professional artists showcase innovative artworks that challenge the status quo and invite viewers to explore new realms of creativity.

In a world that is challenged on a daily basis and in all possible ways the focus of Institute Contemporary lays on dealing with entrenched structures, such as post-colonial systems, discriminations and related everyday experiences. Therefore the network ensures greater awareness through the connection of african and european cultures while examining the identity and personal affiliation of mixed individuals. Everything revolves around the get-together of culutres and the value of the relevance and visibility. In addition, the network engages with the manifestation of new structures to establish a relevant output in society and thus contribute a sustainable exchange on all human.
