For her solo exhibition "Imagined Inevitabilities with Osiriz33, V.f.V. Braunschweig, Mahube Diseko and Brian Montshiwa" at Kunstverein Braunschweig, Anna Ehrenstein is working with international and local collaborators to develop innovative artworks that question the conditions of our coexistence in the 21st century with impact, wit and urgency. The artist brings together a multitude of voices and protagonists who decisively expand the circle of creative artists. The first part of the exhibition is dedicated to Ehrenstein's collaboration with Leonidas Emre Pakkan aka Osiriz33, rapper, artist, main actor and co-author of the series "Hype", as well as young athletes from the weight training club V.f.V. von 1898 Braunschweig e.V. Since the summer, several workshops have taken place in the art and sports club. These experiences are being incorporated into a new video installation for an alternative national anthem. Ehrenstein is also presenting the three-channel video work "Chommie - digital closet" (2022-2023) for the first time, which the artist created together with Brian Montshiwa and Mahube Diseko in Johannesburg (ZA). In an innovative visual language, they focus on LGBTIQA+ rights in a globalized world, in a present dominated by Netflix, social media and internet architecture. What imagined necessities ("Imagined Inevitabilities") structure digital and physical realities? How do visibility, discrimination and commercialization relate to each other? "Imagined Inevitabilities" creates a contact zone that invites an expansive reflection on the current contradictions of diversity and integration discourse, globalization and digital capitalism.
