Tales of Transformation
In the organizer's words:
Experience the exciting development of the city of Chemnitz up to the current transformation processes. Chemnitz gave the starting signal for industrialization in Saxony and developed into the "Saxon Manchester". But these "Manchester" cities can be found all over Europe and show that Chemnitz is not alone in its challenges: the French city of Mulhouse, Tampere in Finland, Gabrovo in Bulgaria, Łódź in Poland and, of course, its namesake Manchester in northern England. How do they deal with their industrial heritage? What strategies do the cities have for their future and what can we learn from each other?
Immerse yourself in the development processes of these cities from the 19th century to the present day, experience history, the present and visions of the future through digital enhancements. Discover the stories of people who are filling the industrial buildings of the 19th century with new life. Foundries become universities, spinning mills become luxury lofts and factory halls become studio buildings.
There will be an extensive accompanying program to the special exhibition during the exhibition period - in the Chemnitz Industrial Museum and in the city. In addition to guided tours, project days, tours and workshops, readings, film screenings, concerts, lectures and much more are also planned.
