Opening of the exhibition ‘SHOWING LIFE!’

The exhibition “LEBENDIGES ZEIGEN!” brings together the students’ diverse perspectives, forms of expression and experiences.

Alongside drawings, paintings and photographs from the Art Department of the Teaching Degree for Primary Education study programme, the library will also be showing a number of videos from the Institute of Social Work at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg, which were produced as part of a module on the theme ‘Between Fields and Housing Estates’ in the Social Work study programme under Dr Martina Janßen. The “T’s and Drums” band, made up of teacher training students, will provide the musical accompaniment for the opening.

In addition, there was an open call for contributions, to which all students at the Institute of Education were invited. These works will be on display from 7.00 pm in Building 4, Art Room 4.235, as part of an evening cultural event with an open-ended conclusion.

Inspiration for the exhibition came, amongst other things, from explorations of the social landscape of Senftenberg and the surrounding area. Encounters with various locations – including the museum, Senftenberg Castle and the fortress – prompted an examination of spaces, everyday life, perception and their artistic representation.
