Creative Journeys: Art & Theater Projects with Refugee Youth
Over the past two years, nine inspiring art and theater projects have been brought to life at our Music and Art School in Remscheid, created in collaboration with refugee children and youth. These diverse projects offered a creative space for young people to express themselves and shape their new surroundings through art.
A heartfelt thank you to all the dedicated instructors who made this possible—and to Shirin Nazarova for beautifully capturing these moments on film.
We’re proud of these meaningful projects that foster community, creativity, and belonging.

Podcast Episode 3 with Teona Gogichaishvili & Ka Kem about Cultural Appropriation
In this episode, Annegret Calaminus talks to two interesting people about a topic that is both important and not entirely straightforward: cultural appropriation. What it actually is, what is “allowed” and what is not, who decides - many questions, many answers. Teona Gogichaishvili and Ka Kem help us to get a clearer picture.

IMAGINE PEACE - A homage to Yoko Ono
This workshop explored the world of artist and activist Yoko Ono, featuring a visit to her solo exhibition "Yoko Ono. Music of the Mind" at K20 in Düsseldorf.
Participants engaged with over 200 exhibits, including installations, films, and music, gaining insight into Ono's conceptual and participatory art. After the exhibition, they created their own artworks inspired by Ono's approach, experimenting and reflecting on how art can serve as a voice for peace.
This workshop successfully fostered creativity and a sense of community, while sharing Ono's powerful message.

Photography Extended
Experimental photo laboratory with natural materials
Photo lab without chemicals? What do black tea, beetroot juice and photography have in common? Here are a few impressions from my last photo workshop: Photography Extended - Experimental photo lab with natural materials.
The focus of the workshop was on experimenting with "analogue photo filters" that are developed with the help of natural materials. Together we have also treated unique photo creations in a sustainable way and experimented the different techniques.
The workshop was realized in the framework of KUBI - Cultural Education Remscheid.
"Homeland - Europe" - A book project with refugees from Ukraine
In November and December 2022, the Wilhelm Fabry Museum hosted a photo workshop entitled "Homeland Europe". A workshop for people from Ukraine who had to leave their homeland for a time or maybe even forever...
In the course of this workshop, a book was created, which is now presented.
Hardly anything is better suited than photography to capture our homeland in all its differences and similarities and to show what makes it worth living and loving. This is another reason why the multilingual medium of photography was the linchpin of the "Heimat" project in Hilden.
The focus was on photos from the personal past that have a deep emotional meaning: Photos that can recall an entire history in memory. Originally intended as a personal memento, as evidence of what has been experienced and for communication, they now become ciphers for what has been painfully left behind. Countless of these images were brought out, discussed and finally selected for a collaborative book.
The book is published by Morisel Verlag, Munich, and will be available at the book presentation.
The project was realized with the help of the funding program "Sonnenstunden".
