The Culture of Transformation
How can cultural events strengthen structural change?
On June 10th 2022 we take you and active citizens from Zeitz (currently the main venue of the NEB in Saxony-Anhalt) on a journey to the World Heritage Bauhaus in Dessau and Ferropolis, the City of Iron in a former lignite area. At the Bauhaus we will discuss the New European Bauhaus initiative in Saxony-Anhalt and how it can contribute to the transformation of Zeitz, a town in a rural area which has undergone major economic and social changes after the the wall came down and is facing new challenges due to the planned coal phase out. At Ferropolis the municipalities of Zeitz, Weißwasser and Gräfenhainichen will meet. All these communities are affected by lignite phase-out, but trust in the power of cultural identity. These encounters will enable experiences on the path to a changed cultural identity between industrial heritage and a post-fossil fuel future to be shared.
You can follow us through the day on our Instagram channel @st.im.wandel and via live stream on Youtube!
