old stone hold my soul / Marie Salcedo Horn
when I am not in this place, face the sunrise for me
Extract of: To Gahheya Ursula K. Le Guin (Always coming home, 1985)
The first quarter of the 21st century is almost over.
Crises, wars, and climate collapse are surrounding us. And make us feeling powerless.
How do we see our time and our future?
Marie Salcedo Horn is 30 years old and is wondering how people who are
10, 20, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90 years old think about time and our future. Stones provide a point of reference for this. They were here long before us and will survive us who are alive today.
Our first meeting will be in the Travertinpark Stuttgart on Sunday, September 21, on 2 p.m.
Surrounded by rocks and their temporality, people of all ages can share their perspectives on time and the future and try to breathe with the stones. Together, we will experience various physical and listening exercises. Stones are representing permanence, immovability, and stillness, but they also move and change, just in a different temporality than we humans.
Can they give us stability?
