During this basic workshop small „peace tiles“ will be designed. The participants will transfer their interpretation of the concept of peace to a small clay tile, once they have been confronted with the complex topic of the culture of memory and the terms "war“ and "peace". This workshop is scheduled for 6 hours. Following an introduction, all participants present their individual peace messages to the group and the different drafts are discussed within the group. This process ensures that the drawings does not just arise from a spontaneous idea, but is the result of a well-founded, reflective discussion.
During this intensive workshop, lasting for several days, so called „face tiles“ will be designed. These „face tiles“ will be a visible statement of the emerging peace monument - to show face for peace. During the workshop, the participants first create masks of their own faces over a period of 4 - 5 days using a bio-rubber-based mass. Afterwards, an impression is made on clay, which the participants have to model in order to obtain a vivid plastic portrait. During this artistic process you will be guided byMr. Barwitzki. The educational content of this workshop is similar to the basic workshop. Due to the longer duration of the workshop, selected topics can be discussed in more detail.
