The photographer Wilfried Dechau provides us with an insight into spaces that usually remain closed to us: the spectrum of eight mosques shown ranges from the disused car repair shop in Karlsruhe to the bold new building in Penzberg that symbolise a history of decades of immigration. The openness and candidness of the people shown in the camera of Wilfried Dechau lends the photographs their particular appeal. The exhibition is supplemented by models and plans of mosques completed recently. Symposium + panel discussion Mosques Today. The brief, and socio-political responsibility Fri 04.09.2009 from 3pm ends: ca. 9pm, followed by the opening of the exhibition Admission free |
