documenta 16 Companion

The Companion to documenta 16 is a guidebook to the exhibition. This publication offers a glimpse into the worlds of participating artists and collaborators.

documenta 16 reflects on artistic creation as it persists in times of uncertainty. The exhibition sources methods of creativity and belonging amid intellectual, cultural, and technological instability, charting paths toward possible futures.

documenta has been held in Kassel, Germany, since 1955. The next edition, which will take place between June 12 and September 19, 2027, is curated by Artistic Director Naomi Beckwith and the artistic team of Carla Acevedo-Yates, Romi Crawford, Mayra A. Rodríguez Castro, and Xiaoyu Weng. For more information about the exhibition, please visit www.documentasixteen.com.
