CityScapes Blog

Welcome to the Goethe-Institut CityScapes Blog.

12 cities
36 artists
12 themes

These are the parameters for a playground of diverse, fascinating, vibrant tales: Responding individually to a collective impetus, a host of hand-picked young bloggers upload photos, texts, and multimedia. Every month, they are given a new theme. Step by step, they are creating a kaleidoscope of impressions, opinions, ideas and… plain fun.
