In the context of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025, students and graduates of the HGB Leipzig in cooperation with Chemnitz University of Technology (TU) are showing the exhibition "unvereint / vereint" at three locations: in the university library, at the bus station and in Chemnitz Open Space. The artistic works refer to themes of the Capital of Culture and its motto "C the Unseen": the transformations since 1989, their consequences for today's debates on social cohesion and political radicalisation, on "we-identities" and their tendencies towards dissolution as well as the importance of civil society engagement for the defence of the values achieved in 1989.

The project is a continuation of the examination of the topics that began at the Leipzig 2024 Festival of Lights in memory of the Peaceful Revolution. Some new, site-specific works will be created for Chemnitz, while others will be adapted to the specific context and expand their references to the topics dealt with on site. Students from the fields of book art/graphic design, photography, painting/graphics and media art are involved in the project led by Sven Bergelt, Juliane Jaschnow and Dieter Daniels.

A supporting programme with lectures, talks and a film programme is being developed together with Chemnitz University of Technology and promotes dialogue between artists, researchers and the Chemnitz public.
