Thirty years after the digital revolution, Die Macht der Vervielfaltigung / O Poder da Multiplicacao (The Power of Reproduction) takes a look at contemporary printmaking. Based on Walter Benjamin's question of 'technical reproducibility' and the current context of news, fake news, and the post-factual, it presents fourteen artists from Brazil and Germany. The exhibition and accompanying book make printmaking into part of the experience of what constitutes society and advocate active participation in shaping the world.
