During Spring and Summer 2019 the work of 
Donata Wenders is celebrated in a number of solo and group exhibitions in France and Germany.
A permanent exhibition of photographic works by Wenders, The Sound, is now on show at the College of Catholic Church Music and Musical Education in Regensburg, DE. The works were created to accompany a book by violin maker Martin Schlesker also titled The Sound. The exhibition opened on 6 May alongside a lecture and conversation with Schleske.
Leiko Dreaming, 2017
Until 29 May Wenders’ 2017 work Leiko Dreaming is part of a group exhibition at Johanna Breede PHOTOKUNST in Berlin alongside Nomi Baumgartl, Lennart Durehed, René Groebli, Thomas Hoepker, Monique Jacot, Hannes Kilian, Birgit Kleber, Barbara Klemm, Jens Knigge, Koichiro Kurita, Robert Lebeck, Herbert List, Isa Marcelli, Vera Mercer, Stefan Moses, Valentina Murabito, Ulrike Ottinger, Marek Pozniak, Sheila Rock, Max Scheler, Liselotte Strelow, Karin Székessy and Kurt Wyss. Magic of Silence examines “those mysterious moments in which nothing happens, because maybe everything is already there”. The exhibition explores silence as a significant force connecting religion and transcendence with loneliness, boredom and decay.
Meanwhile, in Hamburg until 30 May, Leiko Dreaming can also be seen at Photography Monica Mohr Galerie as part of group exhibition Think Big. Other artists featured in the exhibition are Richard Avedon, Andreas H. Bitesnich, Jochen Blume, Greg Gorman, Peter Lindbergh, Sarah Moon, Helmut Newton, André de Plessel, Liesje Reyskens, Straulino and TAPU.
