We Share What Moves Us

What brings us closer to one another are the things we share: our desires, fears, and memories. We allow ourselves to be moved by these things, and in turn, we move others. But how is this possible across all cultural, ideological, and even linguistic barriers? How do we go about it?

Students at the Frankfurter Akademie für Kommunikation und Design (Academy of Visual Arts, Frankfurt) and participants in the “Qualification” program at the Königsberger Diakonie have been working intensively on these questions and have found their own answers. In the project “We Share What Moves Us” sharing and communication are implemented as a “social work of art.”

The results of this artistic exploration will be on display at the Altenberg Monastery on July 29, 2025. The presentation introducing the creative process will take place at 11:00 a.m.
