Temporary exhibition opening with panel discussion

Photographic artist Hans Günther Kaufmann focuses on the dialogue between the three major monotheistic religions: Christianity, Judaism and Islam. With a keen sense of what unites us, he lets images speak – of humanity, responsibility and the longing for mindful coexistence.
