Retrospective
Key impressions, themes and atmosphere from this evening.
Salon 4 builds a bridge between local cultural practice and European experience. That is why this subpage matters: it shows that KFE does not only talk about the Capital of Culture idea, but also learns from concrete precedents.
The combination of museum, conversation and Weimar experience turned the evening into a concentrated reflection on the reach and long-term impact of cultural processes.
