Caricatura (gallery)

Through its successful exhibition and event work, the Caricatura has made Kassel an important centre for comedy and satire in Germany and cooperates with partners on a national and international level. In addition to the temporary exhibitions, the satirical readings and stage programmes enjoy great popularity.

Parallel to the documenta, the Caricatura has been presenting the most important collective exhibition of comic art in the German-speaking world every five years since 1987. This summer, it's time again for the Caricatura Galerie's major survey of comic art. Under the title "SYSTEMFEHLER²", cartoons on the insanity of the world will be on display from June to September.

Besides its exhibition work, Caricatura is also committed to promoting young talent. This includes the annual Summer Academy for Comic Art - a unique project in Germany for the training and further education of talents in the field of comedy - as well as the cooperation with the Kassel Art Academy. Some participants have been awarded renowned prizes, such as the "German Caricature Prize" or the "German Cartoon Prize".

The Caricatura Shop, which offers a wide range of publications and postcards on comedy and satire and can also be found online at caricatura.de, is also worth a visit. Attached to the gallery is the Caricatura Bar, which tempts visitors with cocktails and locally brewed beers.
