OSTEN is a festival for art and mutual interest in Bitterfeld-Wolfen. Through its artistic and discursive projects, it explores and celebrates \u201cthe East\u201d as a landscape of trans\u00adfor\u00admation for people, the environment, and community life. At the heart of the festival is parti\u00adci\u00adpatory work in artistic projects with the people of Bitterfeld-Wolfen, in the spirit of a new \u201cBitterfeld Way.\u201d At the center of the explo\u00adration of the region are the themes of environ\u00admental trans\u00adfor\u00admation, the trans\u00adfor\u00admation of work, the trans\u00adfor\u00admation of society, and the trans\u00adfor\u00admation of perspec\u00adtives on \u201cthe East.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
