We are starting!

Artists Shubhangi Singh and Maja Simišić from Finland and the Netherlands arrive on 14 March. Over the next 6 weeks, they will explore the city of Chemnitz and invite visitors to the Sonnenberg for a week of artistic interventions from 19 April. The interventions will be accompanied by an artistic spin-off by Chemnitz artist Valentin Mici.

An intensive welcome weekend from 14 to 16 March marks the start. With the support of Jamie Mulcahy (out of order), there will be guided tours of the city, talks and initial encounters. Valentin Mici will accompany the event with an artistic spin-off.

Shubhangi Singh plans to continueher work Noticing and Note-Taking, in which urban spaces are examined as meeting places and their social dynamics are captured through anecdotes, drawings and photographs. Maja Simišić uses her multimedia practice to challenge social expectations and develop new narratives.

Stay tuned and follow us for impressions from the process.
