Display at the Biosphere Information Centre Propstei Zella: "Is Work Half Your Life?"

The "Work is half of life?" exhibition, a thought-provoking display of around 60 caricatures, has taken residence at the Biosphere Information Center in Propstei Zella/Rhoen since August 28th. This traveling exhibition, created in collaboration with the Catholic Workers' Pastoral Care in the Archdiocese of Bamberg, the Catholic Diocesan Adult Education Institute Bamberg, and the Archdiocese of Bamberg, aims to provoke reflection on the role of work in our lives.

The exhibition, titled "Work is half of life? Caricatures about people, machines, and money," addresses a range of topics that are relevant to the modern workforce. These include low wages, psychological stress, bullying, and constant availability. The caricatures highlight various work environments, from the desk to the workshop, and even shift duty.

Visitors to the exhibition can expect a humorous, sharp, and thoughtful exploration of the central role of work in our lives. The exhibition invites us to question our own working world with a critical gaze, emphasizing the importance of a humane working world, where the human being remains the measure of all things, in the spirit of social sustainability.

Admission to the exhibition is free, and visitors can find the current opening hours at www.biosphaerenreservat-rhoen.de/propstei-zella. Group visits outside of regular hours are possible by prior appointment.

However, it's worth noting that the exhibition rooms are not barrier-free. The exhibition can be seen at the Biosphere Information Center Propstei Zella/Rhoen until September 22nd.

While the search results do not provide the name of the artist group responsible for the creation of this thought-provoking exhibition, it serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and challenges that work can present in our lives. Whether work is fulfilling or stressful, it often consumes a large part of our lifetime as a means to earn a living. Moreover, it can exacerbate social inequalities and, in some cases, make people sick.

In conclusion, the "Work is half of life?" exhibition at the Biosphere Information Center in Propstei Zella/Rhoen offers a unique and thought-provoking exploration of the role of work in our lives. It invites us to reflect on our own working experiences and question the societal norms that often shape our work lives.
