Lernziele / Kompetenzen• International experience
• Artistic collaboration and artistic research
• Knowledge of art, culture and politics in Poland
InhalteThis module is part of a series of excursions to East Europe, where we initiate an exchange with students, lecturers, artists, curators, cultural activists. After having visited Romania and the Republic of Moldova and Abkhazia, we will now travel to Poznań, Poland. Our cooperation partner is the Poznań University of the Arts. Together, we will organize workshops, lectures and artistic research experiments revolving around the role of art in times of social tensions and culture wars. How can art contribute to an open and critical society without being instrumentalized? These questions are very much at stake in contemporary Poland with its strong divide between liberal progressives and national conservatives. Accommodation will be covered by ZHdK. Travel expenses (train tickets) are covered individually.

Important note due to the COVID situation: If the COVID-situation does not allow travelling, the module will take place in Zurich and an online exchange with the Polish partners will be organized. The travel policy of the ZHdK for international excursions will be communicated end of August.
