Photo-Exhibition: “The Street Speaks”

Students from the Academy of Fashion and Design explore what public space in Ottensen (a district in Hamburg’s Altona borough) reveals to those who look and listen closely. The exhibition examines how messages related to advertising, power, and political communication shape the urban environment.

Who and what becomes visible—and under what conditions? Is such a thing as visual justice in public space possible?

Altona, and especially the district of Ottensen, with its dynamic history and multicultural population, is rich in both official and unofficial signs that define its unique visual landscape. What stories about Altona’s past can still be discovered today—for example, in markings and inscriptions on building facades?
