From New Zealand to Knittelfeld: Birgit Bachler's creative return

The impressive journey of Birgit Bachler, a native of Knittelfelder, led her back to her home from New Zealand via Holland. This 39-year-old not only never forgot her roots, but also pursued her passion for art. Today she is the director of the course for design and communication at the FH JOANNEUM and brings fresh creative impulses back to her home.

Aktuell is working on an exciting project called "Knittelfeld Friendship Book" as part of the Communication24 Cultural Festival. This innovative concept, which she developed together with Sigrid Bürstmayr, aims to combine the local community and promote the exchange between the residents. The project is expected to be carried out until the end of the festival that ends this weekend.

a touch of New Zealand

After seven years in New Zealand and several years in the Netherlands, where she gained valuable international experiences, Bachler has significantly expanded its perspective on local art and cultural life. Her stay in New Zealand not only shaped her artistic work, but also her view of the interpersonal exchange and the importance of community. "Recently at the other end of the world, and now in Graz and Knittelfeld", she describes her return home.

The connection between art and community is a particularly important aspect for Bachler. Through her projects, she tries to beat bridges and bring people together to create a common experience. In addition, the festival offers a stage for creative and artists to present their works to the general public and, in the best case, to inspire people.

The connection to the home and the commitment to local culture are of central importance for Birgit Bachler. Your example shows how you can bring people from different areas of life through art and creativity.
