Hop Off / Hop On - A bus ride with the Schenkung Sammlung Hoffmann 19. December 2023

The Schenkung Sammlung Hoffmann has continued its "Ortsgespräche" ("Local Conversations") this year. The format encourages dialogue in two senses. On the one hand, an exchange takes place between the SKD and local associations in Saxony's rural areas; on the other hand, a work is selected from the holdings of the Schenkung Sammlung Hoffmann and the Sammlung Hoffmann, to which local artists respond with their own works. In the course of the cooperation with Zeitgemäß e.V. in Colditz, however, these works were not shown in a joint exhibition as is usually the case, but were distributed across bus stops in the region. Maeshelle West-Davies accompanied the bus journey along the stops in her film "Hop off / Hop on".
