This afternoon we leave it to chance and try different printing techniques: Whether monotype, frottage or string printing, the techniques are simple, quite combinable with each other and challenge us directly to the colorful play with shapes and colors. In the end, we will be surprised what can be discovered in our pictures.

In tribute to Pamela Colman Smith, whose Annancy Stories are part of the exhibition "In the Skeleton of the Stars", Moriz Stangl will have the guests in the gallery draw tarot cards in the Harris Crowley and Colman Smith Waite deck. In 1909, writer and illustrator Pamela Colman Smith was commissioned by American scholar and mystic Arthur Edward Waite to design a tarot deck. She developed a rich imagery of occult symbolism that became the standard for tarot deck illustrations.

The Stuttgart actress, speaker and director Barbara Stoll reads excerpts from the story "The Palace of Peacocks" by Wilson Harris (1921 – 2018). The novel was written in 1960. His main character Donne is a determined conqueror. He undertakes an expedition to find workers for his plantation. But in the course of the journey, not only the destination of Donne's venture changes, but also himself. Wilson Harris narrates in impressive, often contradictory images. His prose is a search for the vanished Caribbean traditions of the Guyanese community.
