SAVOIR VIVRE #9
FOSSILS WORKSHOP

For this ninth edition in the savoir vivre workshop series, BAU has invited palaeontologist Evelyn Kustatscher to run a fossil workshop in the exhibition spaces at ar/ge kunst. In an active unpacking of knowledges, participants will investigate the formation and excavation of body fossils and trace fossils. What fictive histories can we read into them, how can they help us understand the present, what possible futures do they indicate? What happens when we move away from neutral historical facticity and start to regard hidden knowledge as an instrument for influencing the present and rethinking the future in politically transformative ways?

Evelyn Kustatscher, born in Brixen in 1976, completed her research doctorate having studied natural sciences at the University of Ferrara and Parma. She now works as a palaeontologist at the museum of natural history in Bolzano and as a senior lecturer at the Ludwig Maximillian University in Munich. Her passion is for plant fossils, most of which are hundreds of millions of years old.
