On March 30, 2024, teams from St. Anne’s Lutheran Church (Annenkirche) and Zerno Art Group together with volunteers from The Keepers of the Ruins movement did a cleanup in one of the deserted buildings of the former Ponarth Brewery in Kaliningrad.
125 volunteers joined efforts to help kick off the conversion of the building into exhibition space and a cultural events venue. Many thanks to everyone for their commitment! There are still many things to do, but a good start is half the race. Engineers, builders and Zerno Art Group members are starting the work on the site soon.
After the cleanup, curator Sofia Zimina and marketing expert Kristina Shilova did a presentation for the cleanup participants telling them about the completed projects of Annenkirche and Zerno Art Group as well as the Creation Exhibition which is still to be. It’s scheduled to open in July 2024.
