48 Säulen der Gesellschaft: programme

Together, artists, people from Halle-Neustadt and civil society actors will paint all 48 pillars in the Neustädter Passage in September. The art and culture festival will be accompanied by an exciting program.

In September 2024, all pillars in the Neustädter Passage will be designed as part of the “48 Pillars of Society” art and culture festival. The festival also has an exciting program in store:

Workshop: Color in focus with Hannah Prinz
Tuesday, 03.09.2024, 14:30 – 17:00 hrs
What happens when we think about colors? We experiment with colors and create a large, colorful surface together. We will experience what it feels like to set creative accents in the urban space ourselves. What you need for this: Clothes that can take paint and fun of painting.
For everyone from 6 to 99 years. No pre-registration necessary. Meeting point is in front of Passage 13.

Workshop: The way is the game with Simon Kurze
Friday, 13.09.2024, 14:00 – 18:00 h
The city is characterized by monofunctional spaces, absolute offers of use, a concreted, unchangeable reality and the reduced perception of nature and the environment. With the help of temporary color, we want to change existing places, make them playable, invite people to take possession of them and sharpen the eye for invisible play spaces.
For everyone from 6 to 99 years. No pre-registration necessary. Meeting point is in front of Passage 13.

Party: Ping Pong Beat Bash
Wednesday, 18.09.2024, 14:00 – 17:00 h
We celebrate a table tennis party in front of the colorful backdrop of the newly designed columns. Trowels and balls are available on site, but you are also welcome to bring your own.
For all table tennis fans! No pre-registration necessary. Meeting point is in front of Passage 13.
