Since 2015, the municipal art space KUNSTARKADEN has presented the exhibition series “arkadenale” every two years. For the 6th edition in 2025, we have invited artists who once lived and worked in Munich but left the city for very different reasons. For “arkadenale” 2025, they now return with new perspectives, current works, and personal stories in tow.
The exhibition brings together the artistic positions of these returning artists in a cohesive presentation. This “comeback” is more than a purely geographical reunion: the exhibition opens a dialogue between earlier creations and current practices, between individual life paths and the collective urban experience of the artists.
Munich becomes a resonance space for memories, ruptures, developments—and new connections.
KUNSTARKADEN invites the public to discover Munich in a new way, through the eyes of those who have returned.
