Life stories come to life!

Chemnitz and the region are among the demographically oldest parts of Europe - a treasure trove of memories and hidden stories. In the History of Citizens project, young people interview older people about their lives, the upheavals and opportunities. Primary school children artistically realise the interviews.

The multimedia exhibition in the Garage Campus shows video and sound installations, texts, photos, images and interactive elements. An accompanying programme of talks, concerts and lectures invites all generations to build bridges.

As part of the Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025, the project is being developed in collaboration with Nova Gorica/Gorizia - memories are preserved, borders are overcome and history is brought to life for the future.
