Idea of the project:
"Global Generation" is an innovative, contemporary cultural project.

The very up to date topic of life-concept and inter-cultural exchange of the younger generation will be given a wide platform here.

From this platform various groups out of different cultures, ambiances, age groups and faculties go into the matter.

This specifically means that artists, scientists, pedagogues and institutions from Freiburg and sister
cities (Matsuyama (JP), Isfahan (IR)
and Madison (USA)) will collaborate interdisciplinary to give a global image to the conjuncture.

Exhibition

Global apartment-sharing: Matsuyama (Japan), Madison (USA), Isfahan (Iran), Freiburg (Germany)

The venue provides an adequate space for presentation of the results, which on the one hand lives up to expectations of the topic itself and on the other hand helps the visitor to get a stirring and new experience.

The exhibition unites different forms of todays life concepts and illustrates them. As an agile and attractive location, for such an idea, we focus on a «student apartment-sharing community” that on the one hand symbolizes the intercultural togetherness and on the other hand represents young coexistence, cogitations, understanding, learning and style.
This means that the exhibition will be situated in a spacious flat in Freiburgs centre.

In the venue each of the listed cities will be designated one room, in which one fictive character will be hosted, to inform about the life conditions of the younger generation in his/her cultural circle. This character will be worked
out and designed by the collaboration of creative participants of the project (artists and students of the humanities) from the respective city (culture).

The fictive character that is thought to function as a mirror image for the younger generation, communicates the life concepts, ideas and decisions about other cultures by making use of art works, documentations and scientific material. The interaction takes place in the community rooms (kitchen, bathroom, livingroom) that will be designed by a collaboration of the artists coming from each city to build up the exhibition here. This will be a very exciting part to see what happens when all cultures come together to share and give face to one common space.
