38. Chinesisch-deutsches Studententreffen 2024 – Köln

Das 38. Chinesisch-deutsche Studententreffen findet vom 27. bis 29. September 2024 in Köln statt.

Kunst als Spiegel der Gesellschaft lautet das Thema, mit dem sich das diesjährige Treffen beschäftigt. Dazu betrachten wir zunächst die Entwicklung der chinesischen Gegenwartskunst über die vergangenen 40 Jahre, setzen dann den Fokus auf die Kunsttendenzen der Gegenwartskunst in China in den 2010er Jahren sowie die moderne christliche Kunst in China mit ihrem Selbstverständnis in Bezug auf das eigene Land. Außerdem hören wir von einem Musiker und Autor mit taiwanischen Wurzeln eine Romanlesung mit Reflexionen über das Aufwachsen zwischen zwei Kulturen.
