Dresden’s cultural and scientific institutions initiated a spontaneous culture festival promoting Dresden as an open-minded city, in which people of various cultures and religions live together. The festival opens its doors February 12-23 in the city center of Dresden.
Seven yellow containers take to the streets and mark prominent and highly frequented spots and squares in the city center. The containers offer asylum for ideas and become a home for various topics. With several Dresden-based institutions from the science and arts field joining forces, the festival will offer a very diverse set of events and projects: Exhibits, movie screenings, performances, scientific talks or experiments will create an open atmosphere for improvised exchange.
