Date Title Time
Thu 22.10Opening: Death Positive. Because Dying Happens

Death is a very lively companion. Sometimes quiet, sometimes loud, often unexpected and at times longed for. And yet we prefer to push it far away from us. This exhibition brings it right into the center – gently, confrontationally and with humour and raw honesty. For we all have to die. We celebrate life with ​“Totensemmeln” from Bäckerei Brandl and listen to the heavenly sounds of Blonder Engel. Free admission

Sun 25.10Folding Origami Stars (during Kinderkulturwoche)

Step by step, fold by fold, a star takes shape, and in the process we enter a state of focused, meditative calm. Those who wish can talk about life, memories, goodbyes, or losses; those who wish can share farewell rituals or thoughts on how we cope with the absence of a loved one and what connects us in that experience. For children and adults as part of Kinderkulturwoche
