herbst Education
Every year, general education formats accompany the festival’s theme, and special formats many of the artistic positions and works presented. Events such as walks through exhibitions, meals with artists, or creative experiments aim not so much to explain as to create spaces for shared reflection and interpretation.
Formats for A War in the Distance
These tours and workshops are dedicated to the many perspectives on war and conflict that arise from the festival program. At the center are formats related to the main exhibition, offered in cooperation with the education team from Neue Galerie Graz.
→ In der Ferne? (In the Distance?)
→ Aus der Nähe (Up Close)
→ Frühwarn-Fernmelder:innen (Early-Warning Forecasters)
→ Curators’ tours
The ORF-Lange Nacht der Museen not only features hourly tours and workshops at Neue Galerie Graz, but also tours through the exhibition at Forum Stadtpark
Sometimes it is helpful to observe what we have seen from a distance—for example, over a drink at the herbstbar at Feinkost Mild in the format
Similarly convivial, we are bringing back the informal dinners with artists following their performances.
In addition to the events associated with A War in the Distance, we offer other interesting formats.
→ Parallel Program Tour
→ Zeitgenössische Kunst sehen und verstehen (Viewing and Understanding Contemporary Art)
