Darookhaneh Apotheke Pharmacy aims to question and, to a certain extent, reverse pharmaceutical import/export logics through a spatial and visual display that reproduces Iranian medication packages in a German context. Transcultural (dis)connections, inequalities in distribution, pharma-economic power dynamics, trade restrictions, and legal obstacles are some of the topics echoed in the exhibition. As an Iranian pharmacy in Germany and simultaneously an active and open conversation space, Darookhaneh Apotheke Pharmacy aims to address questions concerning these topics by creating an open platform for discussing global imbalances in health economies and logistics. A series of lectures and conversations will extend the discursive nature of this platform.
