Partner:In cooperation with Leipzig Tourismus und Marketing GmbH as part of the Leipzig Light Festival 2024.
As part of the Leipzig 2024 Light Festival to commemorate the Peaceful Revolution, students of the HGB Leipzig are presenting artistic works at two locations.
Under the title "Unvereint/Vereint", the projection on Augustusplatz highlights the historical complexity of the square and questions the public visibility of these layers today. The students scrutinise clichés and differences between East and West and examine how it is possible to unite and stand up for common values even when united.
In their work at the Round Corner, the students critically examine the memory of a sense of unity from 1989, the question of the visibility of marginalised groups and the struggle for power and control.
