- Berlin Art Week opens its 15th edition on 23 September 2026 with three new exhibitions at C/O Berlin
- One exhibition addresses Chernobyl and the fear of nuclear disaster through award-winning photography
- A second show documents migrating flamingos as part of the opening program
- Carrie Mae Weems presents a retrospective solo show alongside the two themed photography exhibitions
- The opening program spans themes of family, wildlife migration, and nuclear catastrophe across the three shows
Why it matters: Berlin Art Week is a major annual contemporary art event in Germany; its 15th edition uses C/O Berlin to pair documentary photography on nuclear catastrophe and migration with a career retrospective from Weems, giving visitors three distinct entry points into socially engaged lens-based work at a single venue.
