The Kunsthaus Graz opened its doors 20 years ago, on 27 September 2003. For the grand celebration of the 20th anniversary, we invite you to a packed programme of exhibitions, talks, performances, installations and music.

Through differentiated reactivations of history, we shift the focus to the unexposed and less visible aspects of past projects as well as to institutional, artistic and social shifts in values and discourse today. Weaving a multitude of possible strands from the past to the present and the future becomes the leitmotif for multi-voiced speculations of Re-Imagine the Future and its opening chapter around the explosive conception of utopias.
