Cultural Cross Ties Connects Chattanooga And Hamm, Germany

WUTC | By Ray Bassett

A sign for Chattanoogaplatz in Hamm, Germany.

Cultural Cross Ties connects people here in Chattanooga through art and conversation with people in our sister cities around the world.

This Friday, starting at 6 PM, Barking Legs Theater will host a free community event - highlighting the connections made between librarians, firefighters and artists in Chattanooga and our sister city of Hamm, Germany.

I spoke with Ann Law of Barking Legs Theater - and three of the Chattanoogans involved in this project: firefighter Alan Green, artist Denise Shropshire and librarian Lyn Hunter.
