In My Imaginary Cities, the predominantly visual approach to the city is questioned. Narratives from blind and visually impaired individuals from Beirut and Frankfurt am Main form the basis of an auditory city tour, where the architecture and history of both cities are intertwined and the audience must reorient themselves.
On August 26, 1984, seven people lost their lives in a racist arson attack in Duisburg-Wanheimerort: Ferdane Satır, Zeliha Turhan, Rasim Turhan, Tarık Turhan, Çiğdem Satır, Ümit Satır, and Songül Satır. The survivors and relatives were left alone for decades—politicians, authorities, and the public did not talk about racism.
It was not until 2018 that they founded the Duisburg 1984 initiative, which has since combined education, remembrance work, and solidarity struggles with other victims of right-wing, racist, and anti-Semitic violence.

Do you have an idea for an art education project and would like to learn how to develop a concept and apply for funding? We offer a two-day training course at the Brücke-Museum on how to apply for funding, financial planning and legal forms. Participants have time to develop an educational concept. A selected concept will later be realized in the Brücke-Museum.
The workshop is primarily aimed at artists or artists with a history of migration. If there is still capacity, freelancers without a history of migration can also take part.
Date: September 15 and 29, 12am–5pm (two-day training course)
