Due to bad weather, the vernissage was "spontaneously" moved from the sculptures ensemble into the church of the Selbständige Evangelisch-Lutherische Kirche SELK, which was kindly made available by Pastor Klaus Pahlen.


After being welcomed by KaM, the mayor of the city of Essen, Franz-Josef Britz, and the head of the culture and education department, Muchtar Al Ghusain, addressed the audience ... followed by Dr Anna Fricke, curator for contemporary art at the Museum Folkwang, who introduced the work.



Afterwards there was the opportunity to meet in the community hall, where posters for the vernissage and the artist's catalogues were on display.
