Międzynarodowe interdyscyplinarne seminarium poświęcone sztuce sakralnej
International interdisciplinary seminar on sacred art

Summary/Abstract: Between 17th February and 1st March 2008 six students with Dr Agnieszka Zabłocka-Kos from the History of Art Institute at the University of Wrocław took part in The International Interdisciplinary Seminar entitled ‘Religion in the Modern World. Sacral Architecture in Central Europe in the Years 1890-1930’. The main organisers were: Prof Michaela Marek from Institut für Kunstgeschichte (The University of Leipzig) and Prof Martin Schulze Wessel from Lehrstuhl für Osteuropäische Geschichte (The University in Munich) in co-operation with the History of Art Institute at the University of Wrocław (Dr Agnieszka Zabłocka-Kos), History of Art Institute at The Jagiellonian University, Cracow (Prof Wojciech Bałus) and Katedra Německých a Rakouských Studií from Charles University in Prague (Dr Miroslav Kunstat). Twenty-five students and five academic supervisors took part in the seminar. A fortnight travel through Central Europe was divided into three-day stays in Berlin, Leipzig, Wrocław, Cracow and Prague. The aim of the international seminar was to ‘build bridges’, both between the three nations: the Poles, the Germans and the Czechs and between the disciplines: art historians, historians and German affairs specialists. During the discussions and sightseeing sessions the participants had the possibility to get acquainted with the variety of sacral art around 1900 and in the first half of the twentieth century with the background of the complicated social, historical, religious and theological situations in Germany, Poland and Bohemia of those days. The publication of the students’ best papers in „Dzieła i Interpretacje” journal, edited by the students of history of art in Wrocław, will come as a material result of the meeting.
