The D21 art space is a selforganised space for contemporary art in Leipzig. The team is organised as a members’ association that consists of cultural and art scientists, artists and people interested in art.

With its curatorial programme, the D21 Kunstraum focuses on time-critical topics and international artistic positions, especially in the areas of media art, photography, installation and performance. The programme includes curated exhibitions, symposia, film programmes, workshops and other formats. The D21 Kunstraum sees itself as a discursive platform on which socially relevant topics are negotiated and discussed through the medium of art.

D21 will present the artist Irène Mélix at Supermarket 2021. Irène Mélix is a young artist living and working in Dresden, Germany. Her diverse works relate to social-political issues such as feminism or boundaries of societies.
