DA SIND WIR* 01

Within the project DA SIND WIR* 01 14-16 year old participants from Goethe-Schule-Harburg researched urban public space in the center of Hamburg Harburg live and online. They developed artistic interventions and turned their own experiences and perspectives into an exhibition in public space.

"We renamed streets, researched creepy places, looked where beautiful places are and made our own statements outside. We exchanged ideas about feminism and sheroes. We all created this exhibition together to ask you questions and make you think about how and what Harburg is for you." *

“There are lots of streets named after old and boring men, whom nobody knows, let’s start small by beginning to change this…” **

The exhibition invites visitors to look at urban public space from the perspective of the participants, to gain insights into their artistic actions and to engage with the topic of ‘women in public space’ themselves.
