With a Sharp Pencil for Children’s Rights

/in /by

With the Back Against the Wall

When INK picks up a pencil, the result is more than just an impressive drawing. Through her artwork, she shows us which issues move her—and where we, too, might need to take a closer look.

Behind INK’s art, there are almost always social projects too. Through her art, she supports initiatives promoting equality, inclusion, nature conservation, hospice care, and much more. She is committed to fighting oppression and violence and promoting peace. She does this with great sensitivity and devotes an enormous amount of time to it.

For this, the artist has already been honored in Austria with, among other awards, the St. Leopold Peace Prize for Humanitarian Engagement in the Arts. In 2027, she will be represented for the second time at the world’s largest biennial for paper art in Lucca, Italy, with two political works.

For the exhibition at the Kinzig-Forum, INK has put the spotlight on children’s rights. In this way, it gives even the most vulnerable among us—those who cannot speak up for themselves—the opportunity to be heard. Let’s take the time to do this together, especially in the days leading up to Christmas.

The artist would like to extend special thanks to the Kreissparkasse Gelnhausen for lending most of the works in this exhibition.

Vernissage: Friday, 20th November 2026, 16:00

Opening Remarks:
District Administrator Thorsten Stolz
Ole Schön, Chairman of the Board of Kreissparkasse Gelnhausen

Artist Talk with INK

Musical accompaniment: Harry Wenz with the Trio Arpa
(Finnja Bronold / harp; Michael Bork / guitar; Harry Wenz / double bass)
offering a sensual yet virtuosic world music perspective on our times.

Later, there will be an opportunity to chat over refreshments and finger food. – A booth run by the Weltladen in Gelnhausen will provide information about the products of the Preda social project, which are intended to make the project largely self-sufficient.

INK looks forward to welcoming you in person at the opening reception.
