In celebration of the Year of German-American Friendship, Bremen-based German artist collective URBANSCREEN will illuminate three iconic buildings in the United States with their light-art, thereby highlighting different aspects of German-American relations.
To celebrate Indianapolis’s strong German-American roots, URBANSCREEN will illuminate The Athenaeum Foundation, Inc. with images of influential German-American personalities-including Marlene Dietrich, Albert Einstein and Kurt Vonnegut. Uribanscreen’s innovative approach integrates architecture with digital artwork, producing an experience that uniquely evokes the stories and accomplishments of remarkable German-American lives.

We acknowledge that we are on the unceded lands of Kickapoo, Kaskaskia, Osage, Shawnee, Myaamia, Muskogee, and many other Indigenous communities.
While we know this is not enough, we recognize the ground we are on is the traditional territory of these Native Nations, who were forcibly removed, and that these lands and their living relatives continue to carry the stories of these Nations.
