NIMM PLATZ - CGNCULTURAL

In the organizer's words:

A documentary film about the Spanish-speaking cultural scene in Cologne

Film presentation, talk & live music

Under what conditions do artists from Spanish-speaking countries work in Cologne? How do they organize and establish themselves? Do intercultural dialog and personal migration stories influence their creative processes? To what extent do they shape the cultural life of the city? Do (national) borders also exist and have an effect in art?
In interviews, fifteen artists from various disciplines give an insight into their lives and their artistic work in Cologne. Personal experiences, political attitudes and artistic positions are condensed into a multi-perspective narrative that reflects the multi-faceted diversity that arises from the interpenetration of cultural identities,
from sharing, accepting and living in a new, chosen homeland.
