    Workshops + Ball | Monday, August 1 to Saturday, August 13, 2022 | Goethe-InstitutA Worn World - Le monde que l'on porte

    For two weeks, the Goethe-Institut Montreal will be transformed into a creative space where you can sew, draw, design, tell stories, reject them and sew them back togethe. All the encounters and projects realized during the workshops will result in an installation and a photographic project, which will culminate in a Ball of the Imaginary, a dance party celebrating this unique experience.

    Digital MagazineStandstill

    The earth rotates, everything is in constant motion, change is a necessity. It’s high time for a magazine dedicated to stillness: a collection of pieces from international artists and writers in homage to standstills and their poetic beauty.

Word! The Language Column
The Translator’s Yoke

Translation is an art, explains poet, reciter and our new columnist Nora Gomringer. And it’s backbreaking work, like that of a water buffalo toiling in a rice paddy – though she means that far more appreciatively than it sounds.

City Contours: Rostock
On its Way

Tourists nationwide know the Rostock district of Warnemünde for its beach, lighthouse, pier, and fish butties. The city of Rostock itself is generally associated with shipyards, the fishing combines used in the GDR, and the Lichtenhagen pre-fab housing estate. So it is high time we took a closer look at this historic Hanseatic league city. 

Techno Land Interviews Einstiegsbild © Copyright Control

Techno Land
Testimonies

It was the enthusiasm, creativity and inventiveness of the organizers of the first clubs and parties, the designers of flyers, posters and decorations, the DJs, the writers and music creators, and last but not least the early fans, who created a complete techno infrastructure. Here we present a series of interviews with a number of these people, those who were there when a new culture emerged in Germany and played a major role in shaping it. Many of them with a personal list of their favorite techno tracks.
