This winter, NOAH invites you to step into something special at Marres, House for Contemporary Culture. Together we’ll visit Porous Grounds, Sacred Codes -a large-scale immersive exhibition that transforms the entire Marres house into a place of encounter, memory and imagination.
Created in close collaboration with the renowned Senegalese art institute RAW Material Company (Dakar), this project brings together artists, curators and thinkers across continents to explore collectivity, diaspora and cultural identity – not as abstract ideas, but as something you can feel, hear and move through.
What we’ll experience
A group of artists with roots in West Africa has built a sensory world using sculpture, sound, textiles, video and performance. Rather than separate artworks, you’ll walk through a shared universe – one that reveals how different voices, histories and perspectives can coexist and shape something new together.
Moving through this space together adds another layer: moments to exchange impressions, notice what others notice, and let the experience deepen through conversation, silence and shared curiosity. Our visit will be guided by the Marres team, offering behind-the-scenes stories and deeper insights into the works and their collective process.

Alongside the exhibition, Marres offers a rich program of talks, films, storytelling and workshops, for those who feel like staying a little longer and going a little deeper. We look forward to stepping into this world with you.
