Daniel Disitzer Serebrenick
Daniel is an architect and urbanist, graduated from the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. During his bachelor's degree he was a scholarship holder of the Brazilian Artistic and Cultural Initiation Scholarship program as a research collaborator in the: Scenography as a Field of Architectural Experimentation Research.
In addition, he is a stage designer and visual artist having worked on several scenographic projects for theatre plays and concerts.
In the context of »Matters of Activity« Daniel is an »Open Design« student and continues his interdisciplinary research that mixes alternative historical narratives from Brazil with Berlin, pedagogy, decolonialism, time, architecture, design, among other things. Apart from that, Daniel takes carnival (as a percussionist) and a playful life to heart.
I am currently pursuing my final bachelor's degree project (Itinerant Architectural Object of Knowledge Sharing) by inserting new decolonial readings. I have many topics of interest at the moment, but they all seem to convert to a dialogue of alternative historical narratives for the cities of Berlin and Rio de Janeiro and its relations. At this moment, I study the history of my city from the point of view of the Indians and slaves. These studies involve culture, festivals (celebrations), football, carnival, pedagogy and the historical resistance of the oppressed people. Adding to this are the new readings and subjects of »Open Design« that are being essential for new approaches. These are the current paths for the master's final thesis.
