The Ifa Galerie Berlin is one of the two locations of the Ifa Gallerien (the art section of the Ifa, Institut Für Auslandsbeziehungen, the oldest organization for intercultural exchange and relations in Germany). The Ifa Galleries, through the two locations in Stuttgart and Berlin, inaugurated respectively in 1971 and 1990, aim to show the visual arts, architecture and design of a globalized world, through the organization of numerous temporary exhibitions. The exhibitions want to offer an overview of the artistic scenes from all over the world. Furthermore, conversations, conferences, discussions and participation in international biennials allow visitors to have direct contact with artists and curators. In fact, the primary objective is to make it possible for people to meet, making them more involved in the arts and artistic concepts.
The Ifa Galerie Berlin is in particular a place of solidarity and mutual exchange. With the transdisciplinary exhibition and communication project "Untie to Tie", the Ifa-Galerie Berlin has been inviting visitors since 2017 to a talk on colonial heritage, movement, migration and the environment. The program transcends territorial boundaries and considers the meeting of different perspectives as an essential element of our global realities. Movement and migration are understood as ongoing phenomena and emancipatory processes that promote interpersonal interactions.
