DANZIGDAŃSKUniversity Of The Arts Bremen

As the destination of our excursion in 2023, we jointly decided on Bremen’s twin city in Poland: Gdańsk. For ten days in April 2023, we worked there on different projects, but thematically united around the city of Gdańsk. After an initial research phase in Bremen, we realized our work on site. In our individual projects, we dealt photographically, graphically, and typographically with, among other things, the culture of remembrance, the women’s movement, the Solidarność movement, and the gentrification of Gdańsk. The city offered us many starting points for our own artistic exploration, and now we want to continue working collectively to bring our projects together in a publication. The past connects and separates Poland and Germany in equal measure. With our works and the publication, we are building a metaphorical bridge between the twin cities.
