About the Project

Cross-border historical migration and Zittau ceramics

The territory between Bohemia and Lusatia has been influenced by mutual migration for centuries. The cultural connection is reflected, for example, in Zittau ceramics, which bear Czech influences, brought with them, among others, by the Czech and Moravian brothers led by Christian David in the post-White Mountains period. The exhibition at the rectory in Krásná brings this relationship closer and recalls the stories of those who transferred culture across the border and with it their art.

Pilgrimage sites in the Nisa Euroregion

The Euroregion Neisse is rich in historical pilgrimage sites, which had a social and cultural function in addition to religious ones. Pilgrims have visited them for centuries and their traditions have shaped folk customs and collective memory. The project presents these sites as an important source of intangible heritage and places them in a cross-border framework - mediated by the digital form of a pilgrimage trail.
