Project description

Cemeteries are not only places of memorial culture but also reflections of our pluralistic society.

Under the title "Friedhöfe for Future" (Cemeteries for Future), the interdisciplinary seminar dealt with political, ecological and social issues and opened up a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from cemeteries as ecological islands of the cities to the political instrumentalization of death.

Cemeteries, forms of burial, mourning rituals and their respective artistic-architectural forms formed the content-related core of the courses.

The aim was to encourage the students to critically observe social developments, to analyze the insights and to discuss them in an interdisciplinary context with fellow students and lecturers. The task for the final artistic-scientific project was to select and reflect one aspect from the seminar within an interdisciplinary group.
