Live broadcast of "Litfass" at STIMMEN Festival, Lörrach
The Burghof Loerrach is set to host a new live podcast series as part of the STIMMEN festival, with the "Litfass – STIMMEN on air" showcasing thought-provoking discussions on culture's role in urban development.
Kicking off the series was an event focusing on "degrowth in the cultural sector," with cultural researcher Dr. Sascia Bailer advocating for resource-conserving cultural creation and new synergies. Dr. Bailer's work emphasises the importance of feminist curatorial care as a structural and infrastructural practice that supports diverse artistic communities and audiences, fostering social justice, gender equity, and care-based frameworks.
This week, the series continues with two engaging events. On Thursday, July 10, at 7:30 PM, Prof. Dr. Oliver Schyett will speak about the role of culture as a location factor, followed by a conversation featuring Prof. Schyett at the same time and location the following day.
On the same evening, Friday, July 11, at 7:30 PM, Joscha Denzel will discuss urban cultural alliances beyond institutional boundaries. Admission for both events is free.
The podcast series, hosted by festival director Timo Sadovnik and Dr. Elisabeth Weiß-Sinn, invites experts to delve into discussions on culture, politics, and society. By integrating feminist ethics and curatorial care into the fabric of cultural production and urban planning, cities can become more inclusive and responsive to different social groups, especially marginalised ones.
This aligns culture with urban development, ensuring that artistic and cultural practices contribute to the equitable shaping of public spaces and community life. Culture, in this context, acts as a driver for deeper socio-political transformation embedded within urban environments, promoting infrastructure that supports wellbeing, diversity, and collaborative engagement essential for sustainable urban development.
So, whether you're interested in culture, urban development, or both, the "Litfass – STIMMEN on air" podcast series at Burghof Loerrach is not to be missed. Join the discussions and be a part of shaping a more inclusive and sustainable future.
- In addition to the upcoming discussions on culture's role in urban development, the fashion-and-beauty sector could also be a subject of interest, focusing on sustainable practices that prioritize resource conservation and social justice.
- As the podcast series progresses, it would be intriguing to explore the impact of pet ownership on urban living, examining how pet-friendly policies can contribute to a more humane and inclusive cityscape.
- The role of cars in modern cityscapes is a significant factor in urban development, and it would be beneficial to delve into debates on car-free city concepts to encourage healthier, more eco-friendly lifestyles.
- For pet lovers looking for their dream homes, adding home-and-garden conversations to the podcast series might provide valuable insights into how to create pet-friendly living spaces that promote harmony between humans, animals, and urban development.
- Travel, food, and shopping experiences can significantly shape city life, so future episodes could focus on responsible travel trends, promoting local and sustainable food systems, and advocating for ethical shopping practices that support local businesses and artisans.
