Dagesh I Call for Participation at the Sukkah-Exhibition in Chemnitz

Invitation to participate at the exhibition in Chemnitz:

We are pleased to invite our network members to the newly conceived exhibition series, which is based on the Jewish calendar. In the year of the Capital of Culture Chemnitz, we are launching the first edition: Dagesh-Studio on the Road #SukkahEdition 2025.

In October 2025, we will create an exhibition in the sukkah in the city park. The sukkah is a fragile, temporary and protective structure that creates a space where tradition and contemporary art can meet. This exhibition is organized in cooperation with Tage der jüdischen Kultur e.V. Chemnitz.

Your contributions – finished works, flatware, small sculptures or sound/video works – should reflect the dialog between tradition and modern artistic practice and address the themes of fragility, transience and connectedness. If you have performances, essays or poems that fit the theme, please also send them in so that we can present them as part of the accompanying program.

Please send us:

  • A short description of your work (max. 2 pages) with illustrations
  • Technical requirements (if applicable)
  • Whether you have time to travel to Chemnitz between October 6 and 10

A honorarium is provided for all selected artists. The costs for travel and accommodation in Chemnitz will be covered by Dagesh. Unfortunately, production costs cannot be reimbursed.

Application deadline: May 15, 2025
Submission by e-mail to: bewerbung@dagesh.de with subject “Chemnitz 2025”

If you have any questions about the exhibition, please contact Daniel Laufer at laufer@dagesh.de

We look forward to your inspiring ideas and to curating this exceptional space together!

The EPNA Autumn Workshop in Rome brought together practitioners from across Europe to explore the issue of antisemitism in Italy. As the host of the oldest Jewish community, Italy is a very interesting case study from historical and political perspectives. Learning at the workshop took place through presentations on the Italian case and a panel discussion which brought together policymakers to discuss the topic of building trust across sectors in order to combat antisemitism. Furthermore, the workshop provided participants with skills training and opportunities to engage in active exchange with local organisations.
