Young in Frankfurt

Smoking on the sly in the “Grüni”, nocturnal forays through “Altsachs” … Where’s the venue of your youth and what did you do there? In 2018/19, the CityLab is betaking itself to the venues of Frankfurt’s youth and, for the first time, focussing primarily on the CityLabbers’ digital contributions to the Digital CityLab. Audio recordings, films and photo series on the theme have been created with various cooperation partners, offering insights into the life-worlds of present-day and past youth in the Digital CityLab.

In the exhibition, on the other hand, we explored in a very analog way where Frankfurt's places of youth are an how they are used. Where can you dance in Frankfurt? Where can you experience adventure? What is the perfect place for the first kiss? The exhibition invited people to remember their youth or to tell about youth places and experiences. In the video booth, memories could be shared directly in the exhibition with all visitors. Digital contributions, which were also created in CityLab workshops or by the participants themselves, are continuously shown in the Digital CityLab.

Workshop Digital CityLab

For the Digital CityLab, all interested parties were welcome to portray their places of youth in digital contribitions. The CityLab participants contributed their location expertise and were introduced to digital storytelling formats by artists. The goal was to learn new techniques to convey their own experiential knowledge, memories, and observations in aesthetic form.
