Am Tisch – At The Table is a two-year transnational multimedia encounter that traces the family table as the central meeting and negotiation place of the family and thus the smallest social cell. Live at the table, as a video installation and in the virtual living room, artists from various disciplines perform their family table across several continents and trace the breaking points, the secret codes and open flanks of family negotiation in different social contexts and across national borders. At a time when everyone in the world shares the same extraordinary experiences, we sit at a single global “family table” that has been shaped as a biographical stage by personal, social and cultural impressions of the last seventy years.

The exhibition At The Table was shown at the Düsseldorf Festival from 09.09. to 25.09.2021 and the short films of the artists* can be seen since then and continue to be shown in the digital exhibition space on atthetable.art. Four performances based on the short films premiered at Düsseldorf Festival 2021 and are available for guest performances.
