The Lions Club Szczecin Association invites you to the "Polish-German cross-border project Stettin/Szczecin – borderland of culture". The project will show Szczecin's Polish and German historical face through the prism of culture, art, architecture, and the adaptation of preserved German buildings for the benefit of culture, i.e. museums and art galleries. Moreover, it will focus on the Polish-German ties of the city and how its German past resonates in the Polish present. It will talk about historic buildings, their German history, in contemporary Szczecin serving as cultural institutions related to art: the National Museum, Lentz Villa, the Museum of Technology, and the TRAFO Center for Contemporary Art. Curators will show you around their interiors, telling you about the reconstruction and revitalization of buildings and showing the currently presented exhibitions. The project will be crowned with a presentation of the Szczecin Cathedral with an organ concert.

The project is carried out online. Five films will tell about each building and its cultural institution for five days. After each screening, there will be a discussion with Polish and German participants, curators of the presented exhibitions, and directors of the institutions.

Online screenings will take place from February 21 to March 2, 2022.

The project is implemented in cooperation with the Euroregion Pomerania, co-financed by a grant from the Interreg VA program and the state budget.
