Art connects: Opening of the exhibition Diversity in Unity” in Munich

In Munich the signs point to art and dialogue. On Friday, October 3, 2025, the exhibition “Diversity in Unity” opens its doors in the Iron House of Nymphenburg Palace. From 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., visitors have the opportunity to talk to the exhibiting artists and experience the different creative implementations of the central theme of the exhibition. The focus is on promoting reflection, dialogue and understanding through art. It is particularly emphasized that unity is a continuous process that must be actively shaped. Art should make a valuable contribution to strengthening democracy. Further information is available on the [Flying Gallery] website (https://www.in-muenchen.de/events/variety-in-unit-exhibitionseroffnung.html).

But the Munich event is just one of a number of cultural highlights celebrated on German Unity Day. A big festival will take place in Saarbrücken between October 2nd and 4th, 2025, under the motto “Unity through Culture”. Over 600 artists are expected here on around 20 stages. The city presents itself as a true theater ship for urban art and contemporary performances. Among other things, the Ukrainian string ensemble “Victoria” will be performing, and there will be a concert by the German Radio Philharmonic, which will be combined with the Maîtrise de Notre-Dame de Paris. All information about the cultural program can be found on the Day of German Unity website.

Cultural program in Saarbrücken

The festival program has many exciting offerings: The cultural program starts on Thursday with the Saarbrücken duo “It takes two” and the rock band “Groovin Affairs”. On Friday the band “Bluesmafia” will perform on the Radio Salü stage. Visitors will be particularly impressed by the large number of exhibitors, including project groups from the Federal Archives and various ministries. The German Radio Philharmonic will also play an important part in the musical slam. There will be a debate forum where high-ranking politicians, such as Saarland Prime Minister Anke Rehlinger, will discuss the implementation and challenges of unity. The focus is on questions relating to the transformation of Germany - a topic that affects us all and makes us think.

In addition, various street artists transform Saarbrücken into a living gallery: Watch the acrobats and international street artists and enjoy the light art performed by regional talents. The city's cinemas and museums also offer special programs that invite visitors to linger during the festive season.

A call to participate

Just as the Munich exhibition “Diversity in Unity” calls for active dialogue and participation, the event in Saarbrücken also makes clear how important it is to take part in the cultural discussion. Art as a bridge between people is particularly emphasized. It remains to be seen how the various cultural offerings complement each other and thus promote the idea of ​​unity in diversity.

The far-reaching programs of both events provide an excellent platform for strengthening shared values ​​and cultural identities. Get ready for a cultural weekend that not only opens your eyes but also touches your heart.
