Last year I was hooked on the „Buskers“ festival. Today I still like to remember the six Frenchmen from the year 2022 who amused me so much. This year there is once again a diversified programme made of floor shows and bands. This time I join the festival already on Friday watching the performance of Cirque Tango from Argentina and
„Do it yourself, make it new, make it nice“, this triad is the motto of the artistry of the art nouveau period. The exhibition „Goddess of art nouveau“ is dedicated to this art historical era at the edge of the 19th century to the 20 th century. The composition of the exhibits focuses on the role of women at that
Art for reflection and not only for consumption that’s what I associate with the exhibitions of the Brunswieck artist Denis Stuart Rose.
