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.
The access of the narrator to public space becomes a template for direction, speed, and rhythm. This is how we orient ourselves when we have lost our orientation. Different city maps are overlaid - those of Beirut and Frankfurt am Main - in an attempt to make the history of these cities experienceable in a different way. In My Imaginary Cities, individual stories and historical retellings by protagonists in Beirut and FFM are mixed together. This allows visitors to perceive their own city differently and gain access to a foreign city.
Through the underlying narrative of people with limited vision, an orientation in the city is conveyed that is not otherwise accessible to those who can see. Thus, the predominantly visual approach to perception in the urban space is questioned in terms of self-understanding.
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: April 11 and May 16, 1-6 p.m. (two-day training course)
