Format Dialog & Handlung
Format Dialogue & Action
The Stadtgalerie Künstlerhaus Lauenburg is constantly expanding its cooperation with universities and art colleges, such as the Leuphana University Lüneburg, the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts Kiel or the HFBK Hamburg, with the aim of creating networks, conducting dialogues and promoting young artists. We support longer-term and process-oriented formats.
Multi-layered and sustainable networks are created through cooperation with local and national actors and former scholarship holders. In addition to the intergenerational and interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge, this form of cooperation also brings to bear the productive and social aspect of support, as well as the discursive and action level on topics of the current transformation in the arts regarding value appreciation, resilience, energy and resource issues.
In order to link exhibitions, networks and discourses, the Stadtgalerie Künstlerhaus Lauenburg will launch the new format Dialogue & Action in 2023, based on Bruno Latour’s manifesto “Waiting for Gaia. Composing the Common World through Art and Politics”. In this context, four formats are planned for 2023:

Who exactly do we mean when we say ‘we’? With “Dialogue & Action“ (Dialog & Handlung), we will explore this fundamental question with a view to the cultural sector and discuss the selection, representation and strengthening of artistic voices. Because shaping our working and production conditions is not just a question of resources, but also of co-determination, visibility, collaboration and transparency.
We invite you to an open, critical dialogue to discuss findings from the preceding internal workshop with our guests from the fields of literature, art, composition and cultural policy.
The event is aimed at anyone interested in transforming cultural institutions from the inside out by breaking down barriers, making diverse voices heard and reimagining what an equitable community with fair access can look like.
The event is part of the ‘Hamburg reads the Elbe’ festival.
