Artist Talk with Iñaki Bonillas

Artist Talk & DJ Set with Iñaki Bonillas and Maxi Broecking

On Saturday, October 1, there will be an artist talk and DJ set at the Heidelberger Kunstverein with the outstanding Mexican photo artist Iñaki Bonillas, this year's partner of Enjoy Jazz's artist cooperation for the festival poster. The event will be hosted by the director of the Heidelberger Kunstverein Søren Grammel, who will introduce the event together with Enjoy Jazz festival director Rainer Kern. The conversation will be led by journalist, publicist and publisher Maxi Broecking, who has been curating the series for Enjoy Jazz since the cooperation with Norwegian artist Frida Orupabo in 2021.

For Bonillas, who was born in Mexico City in 1981 and whose works have already been shown at the Saõ Paulo Biennial and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the art form of jazz is closely linked to his biography and his artistic practice. This year's Enjoy Jazz festival poster, titled "Soundtrack For A Still," depicts the artist's father, who died at an early age and left the young Bonillas his extensive jazz record collection, which he continues to this day. On this evening, he will put on the recordings that shaped him and his work and give a deeper insight into his work.

For this year's festival, the artist has designed a limited, numbered and signed edition. The proceeds will go to musicians who are still struggling with the economic consequences of the Corona pandemic.

The event is free of charge.
