Humans on Shaky Ground in Regensburg: Moving Exhibition at the Central Library

An exhibition that brings Valencia to Regensburg through moving images

With “Humans on Shaky Ground: The Flood Disaster in Valencia”, the Regensburg City Library will showcase an exhibition that combines documentary photography and social memory in spring 2026. The images by Susana Galbis and Xiqi Yuwang highlight the consequences of the severe weather disaster in Valencia and make visible the extent of human and material losses.

Photographs that remain

The exhibition works with strong documentary motifs and creates a quiet, intense event experience. It focuses on fragments of a tragedy that not only show destruction but also resilience, solidarity, and the question of how societies respond to extreme events. In the calm atmosphere of the reading room, the images develop a special presence.

A place for concentrated perception

The central library at Haidplatz has long been a cultural meeting point in the historic old town of Regensburg. In the Thon-Dittmer Palais, historical architecture meets contemporary exhibition practice. This setting enhances the impact of the exhibition: factual, approachable, and emotionally dense. Visitors will have a space for reflection, conversation, and a close look at current issues related to climate impacts and crisis experiences.

Opening and exhibition period

The exhibition runs from 24.03.2026 to 09.05.2026. The festive opening will take place on 24.03.2026 at 19:30. This offering is aimed at anyone interested in photography, social issues, and cultural events in Regensburg.

Conclusion

This exhibition combines documentary power with a sensitive approach to a highly topical issue. Anyone who wants to engage with intense images, quiet contemplation, and a strong cultural environment should not miss this date at the Regensburg Central Library.
