Kroke elaborated the workshop concept on the basis of his own artwork on behalf of the Adolf-Reichwein-Association: In 2014 the association entrusted him with creating an exhibition which reflects upon the biography of Adolf Reichwein. The exhibition will display an artistic approach including a series of illustrations. Central metaphors of Kroke’s artwork will have their origins in the universe of dance and artistry, such as the concept of flexibility & resistance on the physical as well as the spiritual level.
