Records of Loss
Videofilm by Axel Braun

Postponed Event
Urban Anthropocene Workshop
Please note that our "Urban Anthropocene" workshop, originally scheduled for autumn 2020, had to be postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We hope to welcome you in person as soon as this is possible again or to organise the workshop as a hybrid event instead.
Many thanks to everyone who has expressed their interest in participating so far, we will keep you posted and look forward to meeting you all eventually.
