Postponed: Times of Waste

On March 18th and 19th 2020, the Cluster together with the Kunstgewerbemuseum of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and the FHNW Academy of Art and Design, will host the »Times of Waste« symposium. The occasion and starting point is the exhibition »Times of Waste – The Leftover«. Following on from this, the event is dedicated to present alternative design and representation strategies that demonstrate a way out of the wasteocen.

At the interfaces between design, technology and natural science, an interdisciplinary dialogue is created, which is carried out together with the visitors in various discussion formats. The focus will be on the latest findings in research into sustainable materials and their potential for design practice. At the same time, the role of museums as representatives, preservers and utilisers of analogue material worlds will be examined.

The symposium is being held in cooperation with the research team of the FHNW University of Art and Design Basel (FHNW HGK) and the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin (KGM).

The complete program will be published soon. Please save the date!

All lectures will be held in English.
The event is free of charge, registration is not necessary.
