WHAT IS KODEKÜ?
“Kodekü” is a special residency for artists, which took place in Bischofswerda for the first time in 2020 and was successfully continued last year. Filmmakers, artists, authors, educated artists and musicians from all over Europe come to Lusatia and work for two weeks on participatory project ideas that they have submitted in advance of the project. But the artists should not just create new works, but rather come into contact with Lusatia. The aim is to make the region more colorful, lively and, above all, more open. The conclusion is an interactive exhibition in which the resulting works are presented and a diverse supporting program with workshops and live music is offered.
Since different arts come together, we call the action 'Kodekü' - collision of the arts. The concept of “Kodekü” is based on the fact that as many interactions as possible take place between our guests and local residents.
Strengthening the togetherness works wonderfully through the medium of art and we look forward to the broadening of the perspective for both sides - the local people and the artists.
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN WEIßWASSER THIS YEAR?
What worked wonderfully in Bischofswerda is now to be continued over the next few years as an itinerant art education project through other small towns in East Saxony.
The next art residency, which will take place in this international framework, is scheduled for early summer 2023. In order to ensure long-term work, we have founded an association. This year, the 7 artists who make up our group's organizational team and one local artist want to perform in Weißwasser for two weeks and lay the foundations necessary to carry out a successful "Collision of the Arts". Networking with local players in the art and culture scene, local clubs, regional companies and service providers and, of course, with the citizens of Weißwasser is essential for successful interaction.
We would like to build up this network this year so that we can access it in 2023 when we invite our guests from all over the world to East Saxony with their great project ideas.

Together we temporarily design the public space. We mix our own chalk paints that will survive a few downpours. In the run-up, we create sketches together and process your visions for Weißwasser. The first meeting will take place on Wednesday, June 22 at 6 p.m. in the SKZ Hafenstube Telux. Drop by without obligation and bring in your thoughts. No prior knowledge required.

City seeks memories
Stories are loud, quiet, secret, always felt, present in every human being. Every single one is and was part of this city. Tell your story and create a city map full of memories that also lets your places speak.

In search of the oldest people to ever live in Weißwasser, this project will shed light on specific moments in the history of those who, of all residents of the city, have lived the longest and are currently living. Personal snapshots reflecting times in the city are given a brief spotlight to capture pieces of history and share them with today's residents. The manner in which this is captured may vary in art forms yet to be determined.

Out of time
sand, glass and shards.
The former glass industry premises in and around Weißwasser carry a lot of history with them. The places of production become places of encounter. The mosaic of present and history creates new perspectives.
A photo documentation deals metaphorically with the awakening and decay of the Lausitz region.

An interactive place will be created that makes communication tangible in an audio-visual way.

Hands tell stories. I would like to find these stories and express them in mural paintings in Weißwasser.

Change is in motion. All we need is time.
The desire for dissolution and the question of what traces we leave behind become visible in a performance in public places.

We are two artists doing research for a project on the subject of women and motherhood in Lusatia. We are primarily looking for old black and white photos and stories of Lusatian women and mothers who were and are still familiar with traditional traditions.
We look forward to a lively exchange. We invite all interested parties to a tea hour.

"Summer 2021. European artists come to the small Saxon town of Bischofswerda and work for two weeks on art projects that they present on site.
However, the artists should not simply present their works and projects, but come into contact with Lusatia. A film with many perspectives about the attempt to promote openness and interest in art in East Saxony." - Global Perspectives
