Goethe-Institut - Blog Cityscapes

CityScapes Blog

Welcome to the Goethe-Institut CityScapes Blog.

12 cities
36 artists
12 themes
From January through December 2011, these were the parameters for a playground of diverse, fascinating, vibrant tales: Responding individually to a collective impetus, a host of hand-picked young bloggers uploaded photos, texts, and multimedia. Every month, they were given a new theme. Step by step, they created a kaleidoscope of impressions, opinions, ideas and… plain fun.

This project has now ended. If you like what you see, you may want to check out the brand new
CityTales Comic Blog.

Sydney - Sexy City

by Jessica Tapp.


Mardi Gras is a week long celebration of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people in Sydney (and further afield). There's a whole lot of events, but the most well-known part of Mardi Gras is the parade at the end of the week.

People get together to celebrate their sexuality and party with like-minded people.

This year, a lot of the floats featured messages calling for gay marriage.

Let your (rainbow-coloured) freak flag fly!

I saw this guy later in the night - all his balloons were still intact!

Stranger in a strange land

by Jessica Tapp.

This month's theme Going local - city, kiez, suburb really made me think about how I relate to my (new) neighbourhood.

I don't have just one though. I move back and forth between my new home in the city's inner west, my parents' home in the south, my boyfriend's place in Sydney's south-west and everything in between.

Sydney - Why would you ever leave?

by Jessica Tapp

Sydney's 2011 NYE fireworks display

Sydney - with one of the best fireworks displays in the world, getting into the city for NYE can get a little crazy, so we'd rather organise our own party and watch it from home. Continue reading "Sydney - Why would you ever leave?" »
