After almost 50 years, Jainism is set to return to the Rietberg
Museum in an exhibition that offers a new take on the religion. The
catalogue will show works from the museum's own collection and
loans from India including lavishly illuminated manuscripts and
imposing sculptures that reveal Jain ideas and ideals that evolved
over many centuries. The catalogue also examines contemporary
practices among this small, but economically influential religious
community that is found around the world, yet is hardly known
outside India. Furthermore, the catalogue will explore the
contribution that the living tradition of Jainism with its long and
varied history can make to resolve the fundamental challenges the
world faces today: climate change, rampant consumerism, ethnic and
religious intolerance, and social inequality. Combining
masterpieces of Jain art and short films on Jain practices as well
as discussions with Jains from all spheres of life - religious
leaders and laypersons active in business, culture, and politics -
this catalogue promises insights into the particular lifestyle
fostered by Jainism. Visitors are encouraged to engage with new
ideas, reflections, and discussions about what good, healthy, and
sustainable living can look like.
