Tilman Walther

© Jenny Schäfer

Tilman Walther lives and works in Hamburg as an artist, author, and curator. He writes and speaks on participation and inclusion in museum cultural production and on historical and victim narratives in the early Federal Republic of Germany. Artistically and academically, he examines built urban space as a place of historical narrative, social self-expression, and collective mourning. Since 2020, Tilman Walther, together with Nina Lucia Groß, has been directing Freiraum at the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg as a space for participation and discourse. Since 2020, Tilman Walther, together with Nina Lucia Groß, has been directing Freiraum at the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg as a space for participation and discourse. Together with their team, they design and curate a program of events and discourse on political and cultural education in the Freiraum. The focus is on questions of (co-)shaping coexistence, historiography, and a shared present.

Dorsten

The Grand Snail Tour will be accompanied by literary, photographic and illustrative artists, who will collect impressions and reflections from the same city at the same time as the Trailer is there and put them into visual or literary form. The result is a paratext on the three-year tour, a travel chronicle in the form of a kaleidoscope of stories, connections and snapshots in the 53 cities of the region, revealing the simultaneities and non-simultaneities of the Grand Snail Tour. Chroncler in Dorsten is Anna Haifisch.

„Vorbei am Baumarkt und dem geschlossenen Wettbüro, nach zwei schaurigen Eisenbahnbrücken, stand da plötzlich dieser kleine Kohlenwagen mit dem Namen des Angelsportvereins als liebevolle Erinnerung an alte Zeiten. Statt Erz und Kohle lugten ein paar erfrorene Blümchen hervor. Mit dem kleinen Wägelchen wäre ich gern durch Dorsten gerollt, musste aber leider meine kalten Füße benutzen.“ - Anna Haifisch
