Together, we'll embark on a journey through space, exploring Rohini Devasher's exhibition before returning to Earth. Rohini, an artist from India with a deep fascination for nature and outer space, frequently collaborates with scientists, including star researchers, to present intriguing cosmic concepts through her art. What do you know about the sun, stars, and distant galaxies? After our tour, we’ll have the opportunity to create our own space-themed projects.

The artist Rohini Devasher has teamed up with researchers at a star observatory in southern India, which has been capturing photographs of the sun for over 100 years. The sun, our closest star, provides us with light and warmth. Together, we will view Rohini's film “One Hundred Thousand Suns,” explore the origins of day and night, discuss the formation of the seasons, and then create artworks depicting the sun in its various states.

What existed before the Big Bang? How vast is infinity? Are there other habitable planets? Do you believe in extraterrestrials? These are some of the profound questions that Rohini Devasher explores through her art. Born in India in 1978 and recently named Deutsche Bank's "Artist of the Year," Rohini delves into the intersections of science, art, and philosophy. Her works provoke dialogue on the questions that captivate us all. In addition to the artistic and philosophical tour of the exhibition, there will be a hands-on creative activity to further engage with these themes.

The sky has been imagined throughout history as a canopy, a crystal ball, or a dwelling for gods. Each era and culture has developed its own vision of the sky and the universe. As new discoveries have emerged, they’ve often overturned previous understandings, leaving many mysteries still unsolved. Guillaume Duprat explores these themes in his book “Wie laut war eigentlich der Urknall.” through remarkable visual concepts, he reveals how humanity's perception of the universe has evolved, what we currently know, and what remains speculative. Join us on this journey through time to explore the sun and the stars! In conjunction with Rohini Devasher's exhibition, we invite you to marvel at the universe’s secrets and participate in a workshop where we’ll use solar paper and light to create art.

This event is presented in cooperation with the Krumulus bookstore
