Pieter Bruegel the Elder was one of the most influential and successful painters of the 16th century. Particularly innovative pictorial creations such as “The Sermon of Saint John the Baptist” (Budapest, Szépművészeti Múzeum) were copied in large numbers by his sons Pieter Brueghel the Younger and Jan Brueghel the Elder as well as other artists. Today there are 36 repetitions of the motif, among which the Dresden version, with its exceptionally high quality, occupies a prominent place. The film provides an insight into the elaborate restoration of the painting.

In the wake of the Europe-wide MADE IN project, the Kunstgewerbemuseum brought together the textile designer Cécile Feilchenfeld and traditional Saxon businesses. We captured the process on film, through which she developed headdresses referencing Christmas trees from the Erzgebirge, silk flowers from Arnsdorf and porcelain from Meissen. They are currently on display at the Future Legacies exhibition at the Center ROG & MAO Slovenia in Ljubljana and will be available to see in Schneeberg starting in October.

The "ostZONE" series, part of the special exhibition "Revolutionary Romances? Global Art Histories in the GDR", created a space within the Albertinum for anyone to share conversations, questions, and memories of life in the GDR and in modern-day eastern Germany. Leading the workshop "Your Message - Your Poster - Print it yourself with Screen Printing", Moussa poses questions about peace, immigration and the future.
