Bella Ciao. Chor-Performance von Véra Marie Deubner und Release der Novemberausgabe der Zeitschrift der Straße

In the organizer's words:

In her own compositions and newly arranged versions of classic protest and workers' songs, including Bella Ciao and Die Internationale, artist Véra Marie Deubner explores the unifying power of singing together. Historical songs are activated here as a collective sound against loneliness, isolation and social coldness. The choral performance was created in collaboration with Schwankcore, an open choir from Bremen.

It will be accompanied by the November issue of the magazine der Straße, which is dedicated to the themes of the exhibition Cold as Ice. Cold in Art and Society. One focus is the new photo series Not in my backyard by Hannah Wolf, which looks at the architecture and living environment of middle-class milieus - places that often isolate themselves from the problems of the immediate neighborhood.

Before the choir performance, Hannah Wolf will give an insight into her work in conversation.
