Bremen City Dialog. What's next for art in architecture in Bremen?

Kunst am Bau has a long tradition in Germany; in Bremen, it was an integral part of the state's Bauherr:innenaufgabe between 1950 and 1973, but was then abolished in favor of the Kunst im öffentlichen Raum program. It was not until 2011 that the program was reintroduced, after a break of almost 40 years, in addition to Art in Public Spaces in the state of Bremen. Since then, new Art in Public Places projects have been emerging again in Bremen and Bremerhaven. What lessons can we learn from this new beginning of art in/for Bremen and what experiences from other federal states can we make use of? What do we want to dare to do in order to regain art in building for the building culture of our city? The event takes place in the context of the exhibition " 70 years of art in construction in Germany".
