From mulberry trees to the fabric of the gods – Silk
Wednesday, July 17, 7 pm
Place: Bad Homburg Palace, Orangery
Lecture with Peter Vornholt (Palace Gardener) and reading with Christoph Pütthoff (Frankfurt Theatre)

The white mulberry is the silkworm’s staple food. Even in the 18th century, Prussia wished to gain independence from costly Chinese imports by establishing its own silk production. Peter Vornholt, chief gardener at the Palace in Bad Homburg, has planted mulberry trees in the Palace gardens to reactivate the centuries-old tradition of silkworm breeding. He will report on his efforts in his lecture. Afterwards, Christoph Pütthoff reads from Alessandro Baricco’s novel Silk, which is set in 1861 and takes the silk merchant Hervé Joncour to the then-unknown country of Japan. (Reading in German.)

“My Butterfly Year”
Wednesday, August 7, 7 pm
Peter Henning in conversation with Daniella Baumeister of the radio station hr2-kultur

Peter Henning has made one of his dreams come true: at the age of seven, he caught his first butterflies in the Main meadows. 50 years later, he embarked upon a great butterfly excursion. For an entire year, he crisscrossed Europe. In conversation with Daniella Baumeister, he discusses the Spanish moon moth and its tango dancing, caterpillars which camouflage themselves as snakes and more. He decodes behavioural patterns and survival strategies of these versatile quick-change artists. (In German.)

An astonishing portrait of an annoying insect
Wednesday, August 14, 7 pm
Peter Geimer in conversation with Alf Mentzer of the radio station hr2-kultur

Flies bother us; wherever they appear, they are disturbing, and remarkably obtrusive too. No wonder that a veritable literature of condemnation against these helpless insects has developed, going back to antiquity. In his portrait of the supposedly superfluous insect, art historian Peter Geimer shows astonishingly many facets of the fly. He describes the fascination with its special eye apparatus in the history of film and photography and in painting too, and elucidates the central role the fly plays in the scientific decoding of the genome.

“Crawlers & Scuttlers – The Wonderful World of Insects”
Wednesday, August 21, 7 pm
Michael Quast, Fliegende Volksbühne, and Olaf Pyras, Percussion

We detest and mystify them. They produce poison, cooperate in highly complex societies, or kill their closest relatives. More than 80 percent of all species on earth are insects. Could all that soon be over? – Michael Quast takes a poetic approach to this catastrophe, reciting texts by the insect researcher Jean-Henri Fabre and poems by Goethe, Heine, Morgenstern & Co. He is joined by the percussionist Olaf Pyras, a specialist in New Music and sound experiments of all kinds. (In German.)

Bees and Booty
Wednesday, August 28, 7 pm
With Andreas Kramer, Organic Beekeeper

Bees are in a sorry state. Especially the wild bee species are threatened with extinction. Yet butterflies, wasps and bumblebees are also endangered. Which conditions are necessary for bees, bumblebees and their relatives to feel at home in their natural habitat again, so that fruit and vegetables do not have to be pollinated by human hands, as is already the case in China? Andreas Kramer offers insights into the workings of his Bioland beekeeping business, explaining what we can do to counteract the dying of insects.
Weather permitting, the lecture will take place in the Palace Gardens.

Wednesday, September 4, 7 pm
Maximilian Prüfer in conversation with Bianca Schwarz of the radio station hr2-kultur

His latest project has taken the artist Maximilian Prüfer to China, where he visited the Szechuan Province, on the border with Tibet. His subject is the dying of bees. For here, where wild bees in particular are nearly extinct, farmers have to pollinate their fruit plantations by hand. In conversation with Bianca Schwarz, Maximilian Prüfer reports on his experiences and his art. (In German.)

Thursday, September 5, 5:30 to 6:30
Guided tour with Dr. Stefan Scholz, Catholic Academy Rabanus Maurus, Frankfurt

Human individuality is becoming more and more differentiated. In inverse proportion, humans are crowding out the diversity of species, especially insects. Their decimation raises the question whether human life will even be possible in the future. By observing and sympathizing with the complex structures of these animals through art, the viewer develops a sense for the beauty and fragility of all life. Through philosophical reflection upon the art exhibited, this wandering seeks to identify a human self-concept which allows both humans and other species to survive.

“Of Bees and Humans” – A Journey to Europe’s Beekeepers
Wednesday, September 11, 7 pm
Ulla Lachauer in conversation with Ulrike Schneiberg and a moderator

How people treat bees is a seismograph for the state of our world. But who are the beekeepers? – Ulla Lachauer has travelled many regions in Europe, speaking to beekeepers. Her explorations range from the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea to the Pyrenees and the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. Her book assembles 14 portraits of passionate beekeepers. In conversation, she talks about her journeys and about the question: “What can a beekeeper tell us about nature and society?”
