Studium Generale lecture in cooperation with the Villengen-Schwenningen Town Art Gallery
The next lecture in the Studium Generale series at Furtwangen University (HFU) will take place on Wednesday, 21 May at 6.00pm on the Schwenningen campus in E Building, Room 0.02.
In her lecture entitled ‘Transcultural learning along the exhibition “Le Sel Noir”’, HFU professor Dr Julika Baumann Montecinos will use the current programme of the Villingen-Schwenningen Municipal Gallery as an opportunity to shed light on the potential of a transcultural approach to education and social exchange.
The exhibition, which was inspired by the poet and philosopher Édouard Glissant, brings together contemporary works by black artists on issues of power, representation and interpersonal interaction. In this way, the exhibition aims to take a critical look at inequalities and paternalism and offer opportunities for transcultural encounters and social reflection. The HFU professor took this as an opportunity to develop a teaching project together with the gallery director and curator Dr Alejandro Perdomo Daniels and in exchange with participating artists, in which HFU Business School students are taking part. The lecture will present the background, experiences and initial results of this project.
All those interested are welcome to attend the free lecture − advance registration is not required.
The Studium Generale series offers academic lectures on current and socially relevant topics.
