The artists Maja Simišić (from the Netherlands) and Shubhangi Singh (from Finland) have been guests on the Sonnenberg since 14 March. They are living here, getting to know the city, meeting people from Chemnitz and developing new artistic ideas. They are accompanied by Chemnitz artist Valentin Mici, who is also realising his own project. At the final presentation, the artists will show what they have been working on and want to engage in dialogue with people from Chemnitz.
