Future visions: Experience curious from cartoons in Kassel!

Caricatura Galerie, Kassel, Deutschland - The exhibition "You cook on your smartphone? - The future in cartoons" in the Caricatura Gallery in Kassel is currently talking about itself. By July 20, 2025, visitors have the opportunity to admire the works of 44 talented cartoonists. The exhibition, which was opened on May 10, shows curious and ironic-thoughtful future visions that stimulate smile and think. Seknews reports that bizarre topics such as striking robots, fish sticks can be found as a means of payment and even a retirement age of 180 years.

The gallery is open from Tuesday to Saturday between 12 p.m. and 7 p.m. and on Sunday and on public holidays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Entry costs 6 euros, reduced it is only 4 euros. Visitors get special attention through an accompanying online exhibition where they can submit their own visions of the future. At Kulturbahnhof Kassel you can learn more about this exciting initiative and participate in the raffle for ten books for the exhibition.

A look at further exhibitions

While Kassel triumphs with the amusing visions of the future, the Museum Obere Saline in Bad Kissingen shows a completely different facet of cartoon art in cooperation with the Caricatura Gallery. The exhibition "Best Pictures-German Cartoon Prize 2023" is an official honor of the best submissions and highlights the top artists of the past year. Franconian Day notes that over 3000 works were submitted for this price. The list of winners ensures a real treat: OL from Berlin not only secured first place, but also the audience award.

Other important places went to Hauck & Bauer and Ruth Hebler, who also shone with their cartoons. The exhibition in Bad Kissingen is dedicated to current topics such as the UkraineKlieg, climate change and shortage of skilled workers and includes 58 carefully selected cartoons from artists such as Uwe Krumbiegel and Miriam Wurster. This exhibition can be visited by September 15, 2023, whereby the opening times are between 2 and 5 p.m. from Wednesday to Sunday.

Both exhibitions, whether in Kassel or Bad Kissingen, impressively show how alive the cartoon art scene is in Germany. With a mixture of humor and critical reflection, the artists wonderfully express the social challenges and future visions that affect us all. So nothing like the exhibitions to treat yourself to an inspiring and entertaining day!
