Breakfast Club 2: Forensic Architecture: a cultural perspective
-
Heiss-Saal
Plenary
/
in deutscher SpracheThe Berlin-based Haus der Kulturen der Welt develops new concepts and strategies in order to explain the fundamental changes of societies and of the geological time scale. How can systems of representation still keep up with transformations in the 21st century? Which new forms of knowledge production do we need and which “ideas in the making” should be at the centre of the anthropocene? How could new approaches, such as an architectural and media research project referred to as “forensic architecture”, provide evidence for crimes against humanity?

Prof. Dr. Bernd SCHERER
Intendant, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin
| Scherer holds a doctoral degree in Philosophy from the Universität des Saarlandes and is author of several publications focussing on aesthetics and international cultural exchange. He comes to the Haus der Kulturen der Welt from the Goethe Institute, where he served as Director of the Goethe Institute Mexico from 1999 through 2004 and subsequently as Director of the Arts Department for the Head Office in Munich. Previously, Scherer headed the Department of Humanities and Culture at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt and also served as its Deputy Director. The start of his directorship thus represents a return to an institution in which he from 1994-1999 played a decisive role with respect to organizational and artistic development. |
