Disruptive interventions in a contradictory neighbourhood

P: Mandy Knospe / I: Ulrike Schell (Bikini Kommando)

Sonnenberg has a reputation for being a bit rougher around the edges. Once a working-class neighbourhood, it is now Chemnitz’ youngest district and the one with the highest influx of migrants. Chemnitz Football Club stadium is located at the fringe; renovated old buildings rub shoulders with well-maintained prefabricated blocks; fine dining meets visible poverty. On three separate occasions, two international artists will be invited to step into this world of contrasts. Local creatives will show them around the district; based on their experiences and ideas, the artists will then come up with works that create a public meeting point for people experiencing these diverse realities.
