On Wednesday, 4 February at 7 pm, interested parties are invited to a comic reading with Stephanie Brittnacher (project manager & comic), Magdalena Kaszuba (comic) and Vũ Vân Phm (cultural worker & education officer) in the TIETZ, event hall (3rd floor).
Admission is free of charge. Registration is possible via the event booking link.
"Out of Chemnitz?" tells six stories of women who have left Chemnitz. Conversations between the women and the artists involved have resulted in short episodes that make their experiences, ruptures and decisions comprehensible.
The reading provides an insight into the project and opens up space for dialogue and exchange. What role does origin play - and where does belonging arise?
