On July 17, 2025, there will be the opening of the exam exhibition Islands of Minds, curated by the Art Education department at TUD's Institute of Art and Music. The exhibition attempts to visualize what is happening on our inner islands. To this end, 25 students in teacher training have explored a wide range of topics in the form of sculptures, paintings, and media-based works, inviting visitors to reveal the unexpected connections between them.

The idea of a lonely island has been explored numerous times in Hollywood films and thought experiments. But don't we all live on our very own mental islands anyway? Are we even able to change our own perspective? And if so, how can we convey this perspective to the outside world in order to establish connections with others in this vast ocean?

Exhibition opening featuring performances, a bar, and live music:

• July 17, 2025
• Start: 6:00 pm
• Where? Gallery of the Office for Academic Collections in the Görges Building

The exhibition will be open to the public from July 18 to September 12, 2025, on weekdays from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm in the Gallery of the Office for Academic Collections in the Görges Building.
