July 1, 2022
L–A–U–R–A is a partecipative psychogeographic one-to-one memory activation. Based on the imaginary diary entries of the first female Neckarsulm winegrower Laura Haas (1835-1899), several decades of 19th-century town history are illuminated. At the site of the narrative, memories from the past are poetically exchanged and interwoven with the present memories of visitors.
L–A–U–R–A is part of a series about underrepresented women in Neckarsulm's city history that began in 2021 with the imagination installation Im Schilde.
