Attention artists: Residencies for new stories on Leopoldplatz!

art and culture: the Leopoldplatz in the focus of artists

On August 21, 2024, the district mayor of Mitte, Stefanie Remlinger, announced the opening of an exciting project: the allocation of Artist Residencies on Leopoldplatz. This innovative project is an important step towards the cultural revival of a central district - an initiative that not only wants to include artists but also the entire community.

The goal of the residencies is to explore hidden stories and so far less audible perspectives around Leopoldplatz. Through intensive research times on site, artists are intended to enter into dialogue with various communities. The idea is that these personal stories are recorded in text and video contributions. This type of documentation not only promotes artistic work, but also understanding for the diverse background of the local residents.

The call to artists and initiatives from the Wedding district is particularly emphasized to apply for the funding. A total of 25,000 euros are available, the minimum funding is 5,000 euros. The project implementation must be completed by the end of 2024, which offers other space for creative ideas and cooperation with local cultural institutions.

The application period ends on September 10, 2024. Artists of all genres have the opportunity to implement their projects, which enables a wide range of artistic expression. These residencies are more than just financial support; They are an invitation to actively contribute to the cultural life of Leopoldplatz and to develop locally associated topics.

With these Artist Residencies, not only the cultural offer on Leopoldplatz is enriched, but also creates a platform that strengthens the sense of community and puts different voices in the foreground. This not only creates art, but also a deeper understanding and stronger networking within the neighborhood.

For more information on the application and project content, interested parties can consult the press release from the Mitte district or contact the press office directly.
