Video
The video is available in German.
Philosophy lecturer and writer Mara-Daria Cojocaru ties in with themes from Yalda Afsah’s exhibition. The contribution ANIMAL LOVE deals with the topic of the care of humans towards animals from the point of view of animal ethics. Is the subject of animal love a precondition of the scientific study of animals? To what extent can one speak of an emphatic intertwining of humans?

Katherine Bradford’s painting can be located in the tradition of abstract expressionism, particularly in colour field painting. During her very personal American Odyssey, she developed her very own style: interweaving abstraction and the figurative she creates very special bodies. The bodies’ faces often lack facial expressions.

Drawing on examples of US-American monuments, Prof. Dr. Nassim W. Ballestrini’s lecture will discuss collective memory in terms of contemporary debates in the US. Monuments, memorials as well as art in public space contribute significantly to a nation’s culture of remembrance, reflecting political currents and are therefore highly political.
