The word mythology comes from Greek, μυθολογία (mythología) and means story telling, legend or tradition.

At Art, the students had to give their bid for a mythological work through the medium of drawing. Be it an update, further development or innovation of a mythological tale or a mythological figure.

A basic question for the assignment was: How can we make the mythological material relevant, and does it still reflect our times? Can art create and create a society of new mythologies without us being aware of it?

Myths usually trace back to an ancient world of wisdom and rules of living often with instructive morals. Man has created the myths and the mythological universe, but the same myths have in turn shaped the people and society. Mythologies are created based on and in dialogue with the surrounding culture and nature. Other times in conversation with abstract cosmological quantities.

The time now seems relevant in relation to the mythological stories, with an everyday life full of major societal and global conditions, such as political figures and tensions, wars, epidemics and climate change, in addition to the big questions and challenges that all inevitably face in individual lives.
