Opening of the exhibition ‘SHOWING LIFE!’

The Department of Art at the Institute of Education at BTU invites all members of the university community, as well as members of the public, to a presentation of students’ artistic works at the University Library (Building 3) on the Senftenberg campus.

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 is also showcasing a number of videos from the Institute of Social Work at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg, which were invited to participate as part of an open call for contributions (call for submissions).
From around 7.00 pm, an evening cultural event with an open-ended conclusion will take place in Building 4, Art Room 4.235, focusing on works by other students from the Institute of Education.

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 Senftenberg Fortress – prompted an examination of spaces, everyday life, perception and their artistic representation.
