Local Heroes – 2017
The NORDSTADT WANDGALERIE is a project of the KULTURFABRIK LÖSEKE. From 2017 till 2020, facades, walls, and smaller surfaces in Hildesheim’s Nordstadt district have been artistically designed under annually changing themes. The project sees itself as an incentive and a platform for exchange, as residents of the Nordstadt district and professional artists collaborate on the creative process of art in public spaces. Hildesheim’s Nordstadt thus becomes a place of communal encounter and a place where communication, active participation, and identification with one’s own living environment are possible. After the NORDSTADT WANDGALERIE launched in 2017 with the “Beautiful People” project, the second project, “Fabelhaft – Fabulous,” enriched the gallery with additional works of art in 2018. In 2019, the focus was on „Innensichten“, or in English “Inner Views”.
This great comic mural by OLE GÖRGENS and JAN HEIDEMANN is part of the first edition of the project. With the theme “Beautiful People” it was launched in 2017, and it is a tribute to people who have a positive influence on the residents of Nordstadt. It doesn’t matter whether the residents know them personally or have only encountered them in fictional stories or on television. Besides this artwork here, their stories have been immortalized on a total of four building facades and help to bring the values of Nordstadt’s residents into the neighborhood.
The artwork depicts the everyday heroes of the residents of the Nordstadt district: the single mother who raised her nine children to be honest and upright; the older brother who has already achieved much in Brazil; the teacher who instructs her students with trust rather than pressure to perform; the parents to whom they owe so much; and the photographer Norbert Jaekel, who was a part of Nordstadt and captured it in his photographs. – Hildesheim Tourismus
