How do moments of history interfere with the modern society of Warsaw?
Following this question the students discovered the city of Warsaw in different ways:
- A guided tour in Stare Miasto,
- a visit in the Museum of the History of Polish Jews and
- exhibition of Wilhelm Sasnal,
- an interactive field research in the Warsaw Ghetto,
- a visit of Palac Kultury,
- a studio talk with Prof. Maria Kiesner, a biography workshop with Heike Siebert and the final artistic workshop with Verena Landau.
Observations were fixed in photographs and drawings, transformed into collages, overpainted computer prints and color scetches.
These preparations were the base for the square acrylic paintings on canvas, shown in the gallery of the Instytut Edukacji Artystycznej.
Part II is being planned! The second part of the Polish-German exchange will take place at the Institute of Art Education, University of Leipzig, from October 17 to 25, 2022.
