In the organizer's words:

Pause for a moment. Listen. The STIGMA2 audio walk by the Diphthong collective invites you to take a moment out of the Christmas hustle and bustle and experience the city with different ears. At various stations, acoustic windows are opened into the realities of the lives of people who are often forced to spend a lot of time in public spaces - homeless people and the materially poor. What does our city sound like when we listen to those who are otherwise often ignored? And what might a society sound like in which everyone is heard and considered?

The audio guide is self-guided and open to the public.

Anyone who books a free ticket via rausgegangen will receive a map of the city with the stations marked at the meeting point.

We offer optional simultaneous sign language interpretation.

+++ Please bring your own smartphone and headphones. +++

Loan devices are available on site for a deposit.
