The Smoking Chemnitzer:in – Stereotypes and representations in regional arts and crafts
Incense smokers attend the winter in Chemnitz and the Erzgebirge region every year. The fragrant scent of the smoke wafts through the houses and gets people in the mood for Christmas. The majority are male smokers who are displayed decoratively: miners, foresters, academics... Why are there so few female and no queer figures?
As part of a research project in the master's program in Intercultural Communication and Competence, students deal with regional handicrafts, research the representations of women and queer people in Chemnitz and create their own incense figures, which will later be presented in an exhibition.
