Times of Waste – Handling Matter

Abstract

The symposium provides a platform to discuss the engagement with (waste) material and bridges between theoretical studies and a response/able, careful handling of materiality in sciences, arts, and collections. The event is conceptualized and curated by the research team Times of Waste, and realized in collaboration with the cluster Matters of Activity at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and the Museum of Decorative Arts Berlin.
