The heart is the seat of courage, determination, and energy. The hand stands for taking action and being active.
The “Herz in der Hand” festival shows how rich the Upper Lusatia region is in creativity, culture, courage, and commitment. For two weeks, there will be a multitude of events on the topics of society, democracy, art, politics, and culture. The highlight of the festival will be a 3-day open-air on the Zittau market square with an exciting and diverse supporting program.
We are showing you a small selection of our activities; we want your attention. We are doing what we always do – we take heart and stand up against narrow-mindedness and stupidity with creativity, imagination, and openness. We are coming under increasing pressure with our activities; we need more and more courage, bravery, and solidarity, and yet we remain on track and active! We want you to see us, tell others about us, and support us wherever you can.
Hello Tri-Border Region – we invite you to take advantage of many offers or, if you like, to help shape them actively. In exhibitions, discussions, readings, and art, culture, politics, life, and society will be central themes. For two weeks, we want to make it clear how committed people enrich many areas of our society. Come to dance and listen to music, get informed and soak up interesting things, check out beautiful and enlightening things.
We are more – with many activities, in many places, with many people – diversity, simply put. Be aware of what we have, and what we can certainly improve together. So come by, take advantage of the offers, see what a democratic, cosmopolitan society can be about, and take a clear stand against narrow-mindedness, lies, hatred, and inhumanity. We are all democracy!
