ASP at Chemnitz – European Capital of Culture 2025

As part of the Chemnitz – European Capital of Culture 2025 program, the project 3000 Garagen Summer School, coordinated by Constructlab, is being realized. Dominika Sobolewska from the Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław takes part in this international initiative in collaboration with Karin Pisarikova from Brno University of Technology. Artists, architects, designers, and activists jointly create a space for social dialogue, where abandoned garages become sites of experimentation, encounters, and new meanings.

One of the outcomes is Garage 2: HackLuck, co-led by Karin Pisarikova and Dominika Sobolewska together with the Chaos Computer Club team from Chemnitz. HackLuck is an interdisciplinary atelier for creators – a platform for coding, building, and experimenting. A former garage, once seen as an archive of memory with nostalgic echoes of the GDR era, has been reanimated and transformed into the Oracle of Chemnitz – a place of dialogue, new roles for forgotten objects, and grassroots cooperation.
The exhibition will run until the end of November 2025.
