Being human – staying human

Exhibition marking 80 years since the end of the war

with the seminar ‘Installation and Large-Scale Sculpture’ offered by the Chair of Art Education at the University of Augsburg

What did the end of the Second World War mean for those persecuted by the Nazi regime? How do we honour the victims of Nazi tyranny? And what lessons have we learned from history?

On the 80th anniversary of the end of the war, students from the Department of Art Education at the University of Augsburg took a deep dive into these questions and then turned their thoughts into some really expressive installations and sculptures. Inspired by Primo Levi’s report ‘Is This a Man?’ about his experiences in the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp, the young artists reflected on what constitutes a life of dignity.

The exhibition presents works of art created by Elisabeth Ermolin, Jonathan Hannawald, Sophia Kleiner, Leah Korte, Lea Leibinger, Paulina Liepert and Xenia Rieser, which invite visitors to engage critically with 8 May in a variety of ways.
