Excursion to the exhibition “Planetary Peasants” at Kunstmuseum Moritzburg

Date: Thursday, 11 September 2025
Time: 3 pm – 5 pm
Location: Kunstmuseum Moritzburg Halle (Saale), Friedemann-Bach-Platz 5, 06108 Halle (Saale)

In 2025, the end of the German Peasants’ War marks its 500th anniversary. This serves as the occasion for a contemporary artistic exploration. Based on the conditions and unresolved questions of the historical events, the project examines the state of globalized agriculture, the realities of farmers’ lives today, and the relevance of the demands made in 1525.

The exhibition Planetary Peasants, a collaboration between the Kulturstiftung Sachsen-Anhalt and Werkleitz, presents 30 contemporary artistic positions from May 23 to September 14, 2025, at Kunstmuseum Moritzburg Halle (Saale). Internationally active artists and collectives are invited to develop new works during a residency in Saxony-Anhalt or to expand existing works site-specifically. Their projects explore the production conditions and emancipatory potential of today’s agricultural practices while addressing societal issues and challenges that led to the Peasants’ War 500 years ago—many of which remain relevant in different societies worldwide today.
