June 22nd to July 5th 2026PINKDOT Gallery, Choriner Str. 51, 10435 Berlin
Ahead of Liad Hussein Kantorowicz’s departure from Berlin, PinkDot hosts a solo d.i.y. retrospective exhibition of her artistic work – in the form of film, music and performances - made in and shaped by Berlin and Kreuzberg during her 2012-2026 tenure in the city.
The exhibition positions Liad as a product of Berlin in the respective time period. As such it pays tribute to the Berlin underground queer art community that birthed her as an artist, that inspired and collaborated with her artistic work, and that made Berlin into what it was. Additionally, it questions the correlation between Berlin’s material conditions which initially enabled its unique underground art scene to flourish into a world center of attention and, as these changed, prompted a disappearance of that artistic community. Berlin baby, nothing lasts forever. Yallah Bye.
Vernissage:
June 21st, 2026, 3-10:30 PM
Exhibition opening and picnic inside and outside of the gallery – bring blankets, drinks and food! - and a Goodbye LIADLANDFest – featuring short performances every hour on the hour between 3-10pm, each representing a year in 2010-2026 and re-staging a central piece that was created that year. 9:55 pm = 2026 with a premiere of the upcoming single ‘LIADLAND Is Illegal’
Bio
LIADLAND is a musician, an artist, an activist, a perpetual migrant, a queer trash diva, a Jew from Palestine and a master of the margins. Her music, performances and films de-exotify and de-mystify positions of so-called sexual and political deviants. In them, the body and voice are used as tools of decolonial education, resistance, platforms to display vulnerabilities and as means to call for a revolution, celebrate life, and mourn. Her art and world view is informed by decades of political work on intersectional issues such as sex workers’ rights, queer liberation and the movement for a free Palestine. Her work has been shown many Berlin contemporary art and music institutions - the 10th Berlin Biennale, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, HAU, the Berlin Porn Film Festival, Schwules Museum and Volksbuehne, Panke, Oyun - and in queer and punk bars and on streets across Palestine, Europe and North America.Her debut album ‘Nothing to Declare’ and subsequent EP 'Nothing to Remix' were released in 2024. Her live show focuses on collective ongoing resistance, with Palestine as a starting point. Amongst her latest work: ‘Songs About Genocide’, a collection of songs written in the post October-7th world order, and ‘What Are We Without Exile?’ - a short video-and-performance trilogy about love, lust and loss while considering the Genocide’s inevitable consequence: exile.
