The book "99 Future objects from Lausitz" thematizes a variety of aspects of the region, which is known both as an energy region and as a settlement area of Sorben and Wenden. It asks complex questions about the future of Lausitz by focusing on personal experiences and objects. The content is supplemented by the stories of 99 Lausitzers, which describe their future visions based on self -chosen objects. The view of the Lausitz is reflected in many ways-from the former Nazi stronghold to the lignite area, and beyond.

personal objects and photographic memories

In the book, unique objects are gathered that have both personal and cultural importance. These include, among other things, a piece of asphalt from a former military airfield, a tiled stove, a car sticker from the "The Lusatia area" campaign, a football with signatures from FC Energie Cottbus as well as innovative objects such as an electronic nose and self -decomposing plastic film. Each of these objects tells its own story and contributes to the discussion about the future identity of the region.

The book also contains 99 photographs taken by graduates and students from the East Cross School of Photography. These visual documentation support the stories and give the future visions of the Lausitzer a pictorial dimension. Information about the book is also available when you set up publishers .

The cultural change in Lausitz

The structural change in Lusatia is decisively shaped throughout the region through cultural activities and offers. These measures are essential to create new identification with the region, generate values and secure jobs. The state government, the federal government and European institutions are working on the prerequisites for investments that are necessary for successful structural change. The Ministry of Science, Research and Culture in Brandenburg emphasizes that art and culture are not only part of general interest, but also significant factors to the skill in skills and promotion of tourism.
