Platz machen!

In 2025, the Wiesbaden Biennale will make space—in urban areas, in theaters, in thinking. At a time when artistic freedom is dwindling and doors are closing, we are committed to radical openness: to new perspectives, to unknown connections, to encounters in familiar places that appear in a completely new light.

Reifenlager

3000Garages was a central component of Chemnitz's application to become European Capital of Culture 2025. The project explored the community-building, creative, and cultural potential of garage complexes, which were collectively built during the socialist era and continue to shape the cityscape of Chemnitz and many post-socialist cities in Central and Eastern Europe to this day.
