MAP 2023 – The Alternative Mobility

A collaboration between Hochschule für Künste Bremen and Heritage Space Hanoi, Vietnam, and part of the BMBF Collaborative Research Project "Bremen Goes Sustainable" (BreGoS)

Mobility changes the world in all aspects. What does mobility mean in the face of unstable environmental, political and social conditions? Month of Art Practice (MAP) invited artists with a diversity of perspectives to explore the topic from a personal to a global level, creating different narratives and nuanced images.

"MAP 2023 - The Alternative Mobility" is a collaboration between Hochschule für Künste Bremen (HfK) and Heritage Space in Hanoi, Vietnam, and part of the BMBF Collaborative Research Project "Bremen Goes Sustainable" (BreGoS). At both locations, a group of international artists and curators worked together with local artists and students. The results will be shown in parallel in Bremen and Hanoi.
