Schul-herbst-Tage ’24 (herbst School Days, booked-up)

The Schul-herbst-Tage take place annually over several days and aim to familiarize students with the methods of contemporary artists and various aspects of steirischer herbst. Formats are designed together with the participating educational institutions and partners in the previous year.

The Schul-herbst-Tage ’24 explore the possibilities of using art to tell stories that convey historical facts, fantasies, and blind spots

Under the title Im rußigen Rössel am Oeversee (The Sooty Little Horse at Oeversee Park), six educational institutions deal with the past, present, and possible future of the former Rösselmühle mill—which recently burned down—across seven formats in Graz’s Oeverseepark.

Young people create a three-act play based on on-site research. The production uses sound collages and an experimental stage set in the middle of the vacant industrial site to tell the story of a place that has been surrounded by myths, (real estate) speculation, and weeds for years.
