Closing exhibition “zusammen.HALT”

zusammen.HALT: Final exhibitions in Dresden, Prague and Gdańsk !

The exhibition zusammen.HALT presents the project and its results from two and a half years of mediating GDR history for young people in a final show and presents it to the public in Dresden, Gdansk and Prague. In the zusammen.HALT project, young people were able to meet contemporary witnesses, hear their stories and discover historical places. Some new methods were used, for example, workshops with role play, citizen journalism, mail art and slam.

In Dresden the final exhibition of the project zusammen.HALT takes place on Wednesday, 13th December 2023 at the Bautzner Straße Dresden Memorial (Bautzner Straße No. 112a, 01099 Dresden/DE).
