My workshop was the beginning of the theme
SPACES OF THE ANIMALS
Within our project SPACES OF THE ANIMALS at Raumklasse in the summer semester 2024 we will explore human-animal relationships and how these are addressed and manifested through spatial structures and material realities. As early as the 19th century, humans became increasingly alienated from animals due to the rise of capitalism and later in modernity. We want to tell these stories of animals and humans through spatial expression – of living together, of mythologies and fables, but also of the exploitation, subjugation and ultimately the liberation of animals.
