Sommer
akademie #1
Concept & realization:
Romy Schmidt
With the artists: Filmmaker Susanne Kim, journalist and book author Valerie Schönian, theatre maker Romy Weyrauch & writer Lukas Rietzschel.
The Summer Academy #1 was an interdisciplinary literature and urban development project by Romy Schmidt at LÖBAULEBT e.V. for young people and senior citizens in cooperation with the Löbau City Library and with the friendly support of the Löbau Senior Citizens' Council and the city guide Christof Falk in Löbau/East Saxony.
Three generations from Löbau met there, exchanged experiences, memories, stories, wishes and knowledge, researched and discussed together: How was life in Löbau for its inhabitants before 1989, who were the actors in the city? What has changed in the post-reunification years, how do the different generations experience the city today, what are their wishes for the future? Who are today's actors? What is (still) possible in Löbau?
August 2020, the socio-cultural center LÖBAULEBT e.V. and the festival ZUKUNFTSVISIONEN / Europastadt Görlitz-Zgorgelec hosted workshops, public readings, a cinema program and an exhibition named “UMBRUCH OST”, for over three weeks.
SOMMERAKADEMIE #1 was sponsored by the Literary Colloquium Berlin and the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.
