RUE OBSCURE: Der zweite schweigende Salon / Goldene Stille - Schweigen mit Körper und Geist

In the organizer's words:

"GET LOUD!", "EXPAND RICHNESS!", "BE PRESENT!" seem to be basic rules in times of upheaval. But silence can also have power as a conscious communicative act. The second Silent Salon is part of a new series of discourses by the artists' collective RUE OBSCURE on the subject of silence as a multi-layered phenomenon. On FR 29.05., the salon will make a stop at Kunsthaus Kannen, whose museum space has been designed for this evening by students of the Münster Art Academy. This time, the focus is on silence with body and mind. Together with its guests, Dr. Kim de Wildt (religious scholar with a research focus on "Spaces of Silence") and Christoph Gerling (meditation expert, Benediktshof Münster), RUE OBSCURE takes a look at the power of inner contemplation: What does it take to find peace of mind and body, a deeper understanding and awareness? Why are some practices and places particularly suitable? And what role does the now booming 'market' for meditation and slowing down rituals play?

The evening combines content input with a silent ritual and concludes with drinks and snacks.

Duration: approx. 120 minutes / German spoken language

Admission from 17:00 - Visitors and residents of the Alexianer Campus are invited to participate in the design of the room by the students of the Kunstakademie Münster from MI 27.05. to FR 29.05. between 10-16:30. There is also the opportunity to arrive and relax in the space before the event.
