UN/SEEN is more than an exhibition, it is a movement. A space to be felt, not just seen. It invites visitors on an immersive journey that engages all senses, guiding them through art that sparks reflection, curiosity, and emotional resonance.
Here, art becomes a language for exploring identity and society. UN/SEEN asks:
Who am I in a world shaped by standardized expectations?
The name “Un/Seen” reflects our desire to give presence to what usually remains invisible, emotions, stories, and perspectives often overlooked in our fast, image-saturated world.
In a time where visibility is often mistaken for value, UN/SEEN is a form of resistance/rebellion. It is a space where the unseen is revealed,as meaningful.
JONA
AT THE
K HAUS
In the very heart of Basel, where the city opens onto the Rhine,
stands kHaus, a light-filled cultural space that embodies
exchange, creativity, and encounter. Spanning over 1,400 square
metres with ceilings rising up to 7.5 metres high, kHaus offers
an architectural openness that invites new forms of dialogue
between art and audience.
Once a place of division, the building has been transformed into a
center of connection. Its historic atmosphere make it one of
Basel’s most dynamic cultural venues, capable of welcoming
hundreds of visitors while maintaining an intimate sense of presence.
JONA transforms the space into a living dialogue between artists and audiences, between the seen and the unseen.
Background
UN/SEEN was born from a need for unity, a space that connects, where everyone, creators and visitors alike, can engage with art on a deeper level.
This desire gave rise to JONA, a living platform where creativity moves out of the background and into the collective. Here, art becomes a tool for empathy, exchange, and transformation.
A return to what art once was: an act of sharing and meaning.
We are dancers, photographers, painters, singers, filmmakers, and designers, united by the same wish: to create and share something profoundly alive.
We want to feel closeness where the invisible separates us.
The exhibition probes identity and the forces that shape us, social structures, politics, norms, and inequalities. Here, being truly seen is felt, a reminder that our fears, joys, and experiences are recognized and shared.
Identity
Network
This exhibition amplifies voices shaped by inequality, environment, and change. Each work tells a story of identity, struggle, and belonging. Through art, we confront what hurts, what divides, and what connects us, all without offering answers, only understanding.
Inequality
At our core, we are all connected, threads shaped by emotions, memories, and the silent need to belong. Beyond language, culture, or belief, something deeply human binds us: the desire to be understood, seen, and felt. This exhibition reminds us that connection is not made, it is remembered. Differences don’t divide, they enrich, and each acceptation becomes a bridge, proving that creativity thrives when dialogue replaces distance.
