KREIDEZEIT: In the Slovenian Karst, from Ljubiljana to Trieste

The seminar week will bring us to the Slovenian karst. Formed during the Kreidezeit (Cretaceous), the topography shaped by corroded limestone with its gorges, caves and subterranean lakes gave the name to geological formations which can be found world-wide. We will start in Ljulbljana and walk towards Trieste.

Can the shared experience of this environment, halfway between a geological construc-tion site and a ruin, marked by a complex history, inspire us to find ways out of the tur-moil caused by the pandemic?

We will carry with us a black board, chalk and a sponge. Between walks we will gather around the blackboard, listen to guests, discuss, write down notes, leave traces, and erase them again.
