A World of Changemakers – how can a hybrid arts lecture series concept in e-learning create attitudes and shape skills as a playful and critical thinking navigator in an uncertain world? To re-create meaning is an interdisciplinary cross-sectional task of our Zeitgeist in a civil society. Our international guests represent key roles in relevant philosophical debates, non-university community art & design projects or companies as well as from the gallery or museum context.
Photography and Writing as an Experience, Experiment and Insight
The focus of this narrative-analytical text-photo-montage is the so-called Wendezeit in East Germany, the years after the reunification and the individual and collective outbreaks of violence that accompanied thisradical change. Based on personal experiences and trained on literary and theoretical works such as Alexander Kluge’s Lebensläufe, Klaus Theweleit’s Männerphantasien or W.G. Sebald’s novel Austerlitz, Kai Ziegner reflects on remembrance and testimony in a way that is as critical as it is experimental.
