With the Dishcomfort exhibition, the Aargauer Kunsthaus ventured into new territory. This participatory educational project focused on opening up the museum to new perspectives: young people were invited to actively help shape the program. They were able to decide for themselves what form it should take and what art would be shown in the museum. They were given the opportunity to develop their own theme, select artists and works, go through a curation process, and take responsibility for the exhibition and its communication.

Silja Burch, project manager and head of education and events, looks back on a joint experiment.
