SCHOOL OF SURVIVAL: Konzert und Gespräch anlässlich der Sommersonnenwende

In the organizer's words:

Time and timelessness collide in a sound composition by artist Charles Stankievech. With both subterranean and cosmic noise, the work invites us to reflect on time, space and listening. The work "the Glass Key" includes original electromagnetic recordings of the ionosphere, hydrophone recordings of both Arctic ice and the cenotes of the Yucatán Peninsula, as well as echoes within the volcanic calderas of Lanzarote. To mark the summer solstice, the concert will be accompanied by a celestial projection of the stars in the dome of the Hamburg Planetarium.

After the concert, a conversation between the director of the Hamburg Planetarium and the president of the Gesellschaft Deutschsprachiger Planetarien, Dr. Björn Voss, and Stankievech will discuss the history of the planetarium on the 100th anniversary of its invention - the subject of Stankievech's latest monograph "The Desert Turned to Glass" (Hatje Cantz, 2024).

The event is free of charge! Please register via the Planetarium ticket store.

This event is part of a three-part cooperation between the Planetarium Hamburg and the School of Survival. On June 20 , a presentation and performative lecture with Ala Roushan, Dr. Björn Voss and Johanna Hombergs will take place at the Planetarium and on June 22, Charles Stankievech will lead a workshop at the School of Survival.
