An immersive art experience about the visibility of deportation and memory
The traveling exhibition Captured. Deported from Germany 1938-1945 from the project #lastseen will take place in April 2026 at AKUSO Regensburg. In the social book salon of the house at Haidplatz, visitors encounter historical photographs of Nazi deportations, which not only document but also evoke a deep, disturbing remembrance through their sober imagery.
Photographs as historical testimonies
The presentation focuses on a genre of images that is both source, proof, and warning. The photographs depict deportations from the German Reich between 1938 and 1945 and open up a reflection that goes beyond mere observation. The mechanisms of exclusion, degradation, and observation become visible. It is precisely this connection between documentary rigor and historical violence that gives the exhibition its unique atmosphere.
A space for cultural education and memory culture
The project #lastseen is working on the collection, exploration, and digital publication of preserved deportation photographs. This makes the exhibition an important place for cultural education where historical research, visual culture, and social responsibility intersect. For Regensburg, this results in a quiet but poignant art experience that raises questions about perspective, the power of images, and memory in public space.
The venue: AKUSO as a historical stage in the old town
AKUSO Regensburg at Haidplatz combines a historical old town location with a cultural program of book salon, lectures, and exhibitions. The rooms on the ground floor provide a concentrated framework for this engagement. Opening hours from Wednesday to Saturday between 12 and 18 o'clock allow for visits during the calm course of the day, fitting with the reflective impact of the exhibition.
Conclusion
Anyone interested in exhibitions with historical depth, visual testimony, and social relevance will find here an educational as well as moving reason to visit. Captured. Deported from Germany 1938-1945 invites you to look, reflect, and experience memory as a living part of the present. A visit to Regensburg is definitely worth it.
