The 3-channel video
installation how to rock the casbah takes the well known punk
song of the band “The Clash” as
a starting point for reflections on diverse, often conflicting
receptions of globally available cultural artefacts.
Katrin Ströbel (*1975 in Pforzheim) lives and works in Stuttgart,
Frankfurt/Main and on her way. Longer periods working in France,
Marrocco, Senegal, Nigeria, and South Africa. In her drawings,
photographs, and (video-)installations she deals with questions
of migration, home and rootedness, and cultural intermixture – mainly
between Northern Africa and Europe.
