City walk “Neustadt between Hanoi and Havana”
Alaunstraße 1, 01099 Dresden, Germany
ostZONE – Workshops, talks with contemporary witnesses and city walks to accompany the exhibition Revolutionary Romances – Global Art Histories in the GDR at the Albertinum
What was everyday life like for contract workers or international students in the GDR? How do artists express themselves in repressive systems?
The contract workers, international trainees and students who arrived during the GDR era are living here in the second and third generation. Their history and present are not present. This is where ostZONE comes in: we offer space for questions and joint remembrance – different life paths in GDR history come into conversation. The Albertinum becomes a place of encounter!
City walk “Neustadt between Hanoi and Havana”
with Hung Cao The and Bui Truong Binh
Meeting point: in front of the CÔDÔ Restaurant (Albertplatz)
Who came to Dresden from the socialist brother countries during the GDR era? Who stayed? We meet former contract workers from Vietnam and Cuba and discover new perspectives on the colourful district, today’s shops, restaurants and bars. The tour ends at the Weltclub Dresden / Afropa e.V., where participants can discuss what they have learnt.
Come by!
In the ostZONE we ask and remember together. In an exchange between generations and cultures about the past and present, we want to get to know and share experiences: intergenerational and intercultural, from former contract workers (e.g. from Vietnam or Mozambique), from people who have moved here since 1989 (e.g. from Libya or Mexico), from people from Dresden with and without a GDR background.
The project ostZONE is a cooperation with the ethnologist Dr. Verena Böll and Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (SKD).
