Snap* is more than a newspaper—Snap is a poster, a collector’s item, and a platform for experimentation. Snap does not talk about art, but rather from the perspective of those who encounter it: children, young people, visitors, people. We understand mediation as shared storytelling, as a space for resonance, polyphony, and the sharing of perceptions. Snap makes visible what happens in the spaces in between: a quick whisper behind a hand, an embarrassing slip-up, an unexpectedly good thought, a snap of the fingers.

Snap is designed by Thea Kleinhempel and appears at irregular intervals, but several times a year, and can be purchased for €2. A snap of the fingers.

The program is a collaboration between Kolumba Museum Cologne and the Kinder- und Jugendzentrum Meschenich. Snap No. 1, Dec. 2025, “The Gems” is an edition of 500 copies. The concept was developed by Susanne Heincke.

* To snap (English): The sound made when the thumb and finger (usually the middle or index finger) are rubbed together quickly and the finger snaps away jerkily. It is a gesture used to attract attention, signal an idea, or just for fun. In the film Tongs Untied (Marlon Riggs, 1985), it is a powerful, liberating sign of black gay identity—a short, concise sound with multiple meanings.
