The Württembergischer Kunstverein is glad to finally announce the long-planned and often postponed program 'Sun At Night', which will take place as part of the exhibition 'Actually, the Dead Are Not Dead: Una forma de ser' from July 2 to 4, 2021 in the Kunstverein's new and temporary open air platform, the Shared Space #Park Side.

With a dense program of flamenco music and dance, performances, films, lectures, and a workshop, a central theme of the exhibition, the feast, will be reflected not only thematically but also as a practice. The program deals with the manifold relationships and interactions between flamenco, the transgressions and debauchery of the feast, and the political struggle of marginalized groups such as the Sinti and Roma.

The entire outdoor program at the Kunstverein will be streamed live.

1 pm – 5 pm
Joy Charpentier
WORKSHOP
'Chourave' (Theft)
For this workshop we'll play around the figure of the counterfeiter who makes fake money or ID papers, jewels or paintings. We will chourave pictures from different sources and try to divert it in a series of prints. Furthermore, we will experiment a work protocol that forces us to make quick choices and to deal with accidents and the unforeseen. The result will take the form of a Black and White fanzine made out of posters.
