HANSEartWORKS
»Performance Lounge« at the cultural forum Alte Post

The HANSEartWORKS 2022 were all about performance: 12 Hanseatic cities sent their artists and artist groups to Neuss and provided a very varied programme.

The participants focused not only on the Alte Post, but also on the surrounding urban space and involved the entire city centre of Neuss with a wide variety of actions.

The Alte Post invited people to “drop by” and linger in the performance lounge, because it was a meeting place, a space for synergies, spontaneity and improvisation. Just as it was planned and desired by the curatorial team!
Many new contacts were made between the participating artists and the enthusiastic audience, who, as is usual with performance, were able to experience art up close.

The idea of HANSEartWORKS and the spirit of the Hansa Convention were fully fulfilled, namely international understanding and sustainable networking through personal encounters! The Performance Lounge in Neuss 2022 will have many a cultural echo.

The HANSEartWORKS have been an integral part of the Hansa Convention since 2007: every year, artists from the member cities of the world's largest voluntary association of cities can apply to represent their Hanseatic city at the annual international art event.
