Lorem ipsum

The project week “Local Recreation Area Gropiusstadt” took place from 22. to 26. July 2024 cooperation with the family outreach staff of the Protestant Church Congregation Gropiusstadt at Apfelsinenplatz.

Artists Elisa Dierson and Katja Marie Voigt from Kunst Werk Stadt e.V. invited children from Gropiusstadt to experience their neighborhood as a place for vacation and relaxation. Using the cyanotype photographic process and found objects from the surroundings, the group created printed fabric coverings for deckchairs.

At the summer festival on 26. July 2024 a parcours of relaxation and summer feelings was presented, inviting visitors to take part.
