The context of art and ecology

In addition to the Erasmus Days, a seminar on the role of art in the context of the climate crisis is being offered at the Bauhaus University. Various aesthetic approaches to dealing with ecological issues are discussed here. Participants will develop a comprehensive understanding of aesthetic strategies used by contemporary artists and learn how these can be used in relation to environmental issues.

The seminar consists of three basic parts: a theoretical discussion of relevant texts, the connection of these theories with artistic practices through the students' presentations and the realization of their own artistic projects during the "Open Atelier". This mandatory program is aimed at students in the fields of architecture, interior design or landscape architecture at bachelor's or master's level and has a registration deadline of November 2nd, 2025.

These activities at the Bauhaus University Weimar not only increase international awareness, but also contribute to a deep understanding of current ecological challenges by highlighting the important connection between art and the environment.
