ÜBER LEBENSKUNST -- Initiative for Culture and Sustainability -- Haus der Kulturen der Welt ---- How do we define "good living" given the global ecological crisis? This question, which is relevant for everyone no matter what social group they belong to, is the central thematic focus of ÜBER LEBENSKUNST (the art of living), an initiative project of the Federal Cultural Foundation in cooperation with the Haus der Kulturen der Welt. In a multi-part programme, the project explores the profound changes our planet is undergoing through art – in performance, visual art, music, discourse and literature. The latest positions and strategies for the art of sustainable living are brought together here at the interface between art and cultural production, fashion, day-to-day research, civic involvement, architecture and sustainable design, urban gardening, environmental sciences, political activism and urban planning.
