Why the topic of small towns?
Because it is the reality in many places. Small town is not a question of province or relevance. In countless cases, small towns mean a different approach. It means different perspectives and solutions for problems and structures. It means different challenges for the future than we know from the metropolises of our country. And this affects around 150 cities in Saxony alone. (5,000 – 50,000 p.e.), and there are well over 2,000 cities across Germany.

KLEIN STADT SCHAU WERDAU
We have invited a dozen small towns to show us their perspective on their city, urban development and special features. Together with a typical city streetline portrait, we present these as a window display around the Tuchfabrik. Discover a selection of regional towns from Saxony and Thuringia, as well as examples from Franconia and North Rhine-Westphalia. (18th April – end of May)
Kleinstadt.Positionen
We have invited six photographers (m/f/d) to present their very personal view of small towns from their archive material. You can find our exhibition Kleinstadt.Positionen in the gallery of the Tuchfabrik from 17.4.-30.4.
Opening Times: Wed-Sat 14-18 CET, and on 30.04. during the workshop day
