Jubiläums-Talk: 100 Jahre Waschkaue

In the organizer's words:

We are celebrating 100 years of Waschkaue! The Künstlerhaus Dortmund building was built in 1924 as a washhouse for the mining industry and was last used by the University of Applied Sciences for Design. Students from this school occupied the building and fought for its current status, self-administration.

But what was it like underground back then? How did a washhouse become an artists' house? We will be exploring these and other questions in our anniversary talk on June 14 at 6 pm. We will be joined by Antje Hassinger (visual artist, founding member of Künstlerhaus Dortmund), Dr. Ingo Wuttke (historian from the Ruhr Museum in Essen) and Norbert Grondorf (former miner).
