This year we have come up with something very special:
Photoszene is conjuring up a temporary home for photography right in the city center!
Right next to the Kölnischer Kunstverein, we are transforming the Stoff-Pavillon Moeller at Hahnenstr. 8 into a dynamic festival center with exhibitions, events, community space,
Café Lehmitz Photobooks and the Café by OYA MÜLLEM.
We are thus creating a new place for photography, which we hope will be a long-term vision for Cologne and the community!
Come by!
