Graphic designer and artist Stefan Matlik’s key visual for the 2024/25 annual theme illustrates and unites the Cluster of Excellence’s diverse annual programme and interdisciplinary research on the theme “Body and Religion”. The motifs in the modular collage include some of the fascinating exhibits from the exhibition “Body. Cult. Religion. Perspectives from antiquity to the present”, which is the focus of the first half of the annual theme and features loans from international museums. Other motifs illustrate how literature and the visual arts address the relationship between body and religion – which is the focus of the second half of the annual theme. Scholars from the Cluster of Excellence will present their research on the theme of “Body and Religion” during the annual theme. Planned are lectures, panel discussions, guided tours of the exhibition, discussion walks, dance workshops, readings and film evenings. Below are motifs of the key visual presented one at a time and with background information.
