Ausstellung: Lützerath – Deeskalation durch Transparenz und Kommunikation

On January 11, 2023, the eviction of the occupied village of Lützerath in the lignite mining area at the Garzweiler open-cast mine began. The police had announced in advance that they were aiming for a peaceful eviction and had therefore defined the guiding principle of "de-escalation through transparency and communication" for their operation. This work about destruction and resistance accompanies the eviction from the first police contacts on January 8 to the demonstration and the end of the eviction on January 14.

Tim Kirchhof is a photojournalist and social worker. He has been studying visual journalism and documentary photography in Hanover since 2022. In his work, which deals with queer and activist topics, among others, he is particularly interested in social collision points and underrepresented perspectives. He seeks new narrative forms for social issues in order to draw attention to social problems and solutions.

The photo exhibition can be seen from September 3 to 24 on weekdays during our opening hours, usually from 10 am to 6 pm, and is part of our project ACT NOW! - Culture active for the climate. More information at www.actnow-pavillon.de
