Nocturnal Walkthroughs: This Is Not a Label

The Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza and TBA21 Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary present the second edition of their open call for nocturnal walkthroughs, this time accompanying Roman Khimei and Yarema Malashchuk’s Pedagogies of War. These evening visits offer a new way to approach the exhibition, inviting audiences to engage with the artworks in an intimate, immersive setting where dialogue, contemplation, and shared experience take center stage.

This workshop invites visitors to actively engage with Pedagogies of War by collaboratively rewriting the texts and labels accompanying the artworks. In doing so, it transforms the museum into a space for creative action and shared reflection on the ways written language succeeds or fails in conveying the realities of life in contexts shaped by war.

Alexa Jeanne Kusber is a Zurich-based curator and cultural facilitator whose practice encourages public resonance through collaborative, socially conscious projects. She directed the curatorial vision of the Verbier 3-D Foundation for over a decade, transforming its artist residency and sculpture park into a “living laboratory” for ecological dialogue. She has also served as curator of public programmes at Zurich’s MuDA (Museum of Digital Art) and contributed to diverse cultural initiatives across London and Europe. Currently, she is exploring resonance as a curatorial method and form of resistance, using attunement to create tools that help navigate and support shifts within today’s climate.
