Photographs document experiences of flight
Adult education centre: Exhibition opening on 16 January, 7 p.m., TIETZ, event hall
The photo exhibition "Two addresses - one fate" will open on Monday 16 January at 7 pm in the TIETZ event hall. In over 120 photographs, Ukrainians who have fled to Chemnitz show their personal experiences of flight. The exhibition is organised by the Chemnitz Adult Education Centre and the "Fotofreunde Chemnitz 2020".
Interested parties and representatives of the media are invited to the exhibition opening. In addition to introductory words about the exhibition and Ukrainian music, there will be an opportunity to talk to the individual protagonists.
The 20 or so women and men who came to Chemnitz last year will present a snapshot of their lives and escape stories. In three parts, the time before the war in Ukraine, the war and the escape itself as well as the arrival and new beginning in Chemnitz are thematised and artistically processed. When selecting the documentary photos they took themselves, they were supported by the "Fotofreunde Chemnitz 2020", who also took additional accompanying photos on the topic in Chemnitz. The photographs are complemented by selected works of art by children and young people, which were created in Chemnitz in the company of Ukrainian artist Viktoriia Karzyska-Katasonova.
The exhibition can be seen until 11 March, Monday to Friday, from 8 am to 6 pm in the vhs gallery on the 4th floor of the TIETZ. Admission is free of charge.
