Togetherness

In the organizer's words:

PROGRAMME
7 pm Togetherness, a scenic approach with Angela Sauermann (gesture), Frank Sauer (music) and pupils of the Anni-Braun-Schule (approx. 25 minutes)
From 8 pm Dance into May, part 1 with DJ Monika Bluse (aka Matthias Stadler aka TAMTAMHias - part 2 takes place in the TAMTAMTreppenbar )

In four weekly double lessons, ten artists took over the art lessons in ten classes at the Anni-Braun-Schule - Förderzentrum Sprache - Munich. Pupils and artists are creative together. The resulting artworks, which deal with the theme of "Togetherness", were presented in the Anni-Braun-Schule school building in July 2024. In 2025, a selection of them will be shown in Köşk.

The topic of togetherness in the sense of deficient aspects of social contact caused by the coronavirus pandemic is particularly explosive. According to UN figures, one in seven young people between the ages of ten and 19 still suffers from a diagnosed mental disorder due to the "lockdown" during the crisis. Children with disabilities, such as the pupils at Anni Braun School, are particularly affected.
Healing creative processes with the pupils and the inclusion idea of showing the resulting artworks publicly in cultural venues are the core ideas of this art project.
