ARK Dresden – Ark for Underestimated Knowledge
With Josef Panda, Konglomerat e.V., Zeitgenossen e.V., pupils of the 101st High School
ARK Dresden: Ark for Underestimated Knowledge
A project by Quarantine (GB), Katja Heiser (DE) and Mustafa Hasan (SY/DE)
Seven European production houses, festivals and public institutions in Athens, Dresden, Mülheim an der Ruhr, Porto, Strasbourg, Utrecht and Warsaw started the project “Moving Borders” together two years ago: Each partner developed a version of the artistic concept “ARK” by the British collective Quarantine in its own city – adapted to the local conditions and together with the local people.
We invite you to “ARK Dresden – Ark for Underestimated Knowledge”: a place for encounters, exchange and interesting insights is being created on the banks of the Elbe and on the personal ferry “Johanna”. Dresden citizens and local artists will share, present and save individual knowledge, skills and experiences that should not be lost over time and due to social change. Come and save with us!
ARK Dresden takes place as part 2 of the festival “Stadt.Raum.Fluss. Contemporary Positions on the City” by HELLERAU – European Centre for the Arts.
Venue: Elbufer Dresden near the Johanna ferry dock Accessible via Diakonissenweg/Holzhofgasse, EV 11, 41 (Diakonissenkrankenhaus)
Program Fri 09.07.
16:00 – 18:00 h
Collection – what our clothes have to tell, Josef Panda
Clothes are a means of communication between the individual and the outside world and a repository of information about personal memories and experiences. The essence of the stories is graphically applied to second-hand textiles and thus made visible to others. Find out on site what your clothes tell!
“Skatebankcola” – Johannstädter Kiezfragmente, Jarii van Gohl and pupils from the 101st Oberschule.
An auditory snapshot of a neighbourhood: The focus is on the feelings, wishes, fears and hopes of the young people. Their voices are arranged in a mix of music and field recordings, which were recorded together on location in the neighbourhood.
HörFluss. Audio features on the Elbe, Konglomerat e.V.

Help shape the future of Dresden’s Elbe! We will collect your visions, suggestions and questions on an interactive map of the Elbe.
