Käte Hamburger Centre for Apocalyptic and Post-Apocalyptic Studies at Heidelberg University invites Mexican street artist to Metropolink Festival. The motif shows the first omen: a flame of fire that can be seen in the sky for a year. In the context of the Metropolink Festival, a new mural - designed by Mexican street artist Saner - is currently being painted on the gymnasium wall of the Heidelberg Julius Springer School. The outline for the painting shows eight Tetzáhuitl - omens for the end of the world from precolonial cultures in the territory of present-day Mexico - which Saner combines with modern perspectives in his work. The idea for this action came from the research project of the art historian and anthropologist Adolfo Mantilla Osornio, a visiting scholar at the Käte Hamburger Centre for Apocalyptic and Post-Apocalyptic Studies at Heidelberg University. The painting will be inaugurated on 6 August 2022 at a public event. Parallel to the creative process, visitors can view an exhibition featuring the painting's individual motifs.
