Ligia Lewis: I’M NOT HERE FORRRRR…

“With I’M NOT HERE FORRRRR…, Gropius Bau presents the most extensive solo exhibition by artist and choreographer Ligia Lewis to date. Opening on 15 October 2025, the exhibition brings together new and existing works, displayed on the ground floor and in the atrium of Gropius Bau. Based in Berlin since 2013, Ligia Lewis has developed a multifaceted choreographic practice that spans performance, live installation and film. For Lewis, choreography is the movement of ideas across bodies – meticulously conceived, crafted and directed. It is a political act: a form of writing against the grain of representational regimes and the (Black) erasure they perpetuate. Her work circles around themes of race, gender, violence and resistance, exploring how these dynamics haunt and shape the present. …”
