Haus Der Kulturen Der Welt (House of World Cultures), often abbreviated as HKW, is a significant institution dedicated to contemporary non-European arts. Established in 1957 by the US government as the Kongresshalle during the Cold War, it was intended to present a positive image of American culture. Following German reunification in 1990, its focus shifted dramatically. It now operates under the authority of the German Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media, focusing on international contemporary art and cultural discourse with an emphasis on postcolonial perspectives and global issues.
