A teaching workshop in the framework of the FALL festival and connected with the exhibition Point of View: Identity

In the best case, today’s information overload and all the different communication platforms and strategies train our ability to distinguish and choose – to be able to recognise the borders of facts, opinions, or manipulations. In a first for teachers, the educational programme The Truth, or a Lie? connects contemporary art formats with the tools of media education. The programme deliberately utilises the educational exhibition Point of View: Identity. Identification is one of the factors that influence our decisions: “Is what I see and hear the truth, or a lie?”.
