“Creativity always requires a bit of friction”

Australian artist Meyrick Kaminski spent twelve years in Germany. This experience has shaped him not only as a person, but even more so as an artist. In an interview, the Melbourner explains why he chose Braunschweig over the art capital Berlin. He also talks about the question of whether German history prevents healthy discourse and about German vans in West Africa.
