How do materials shape our thinking, our actions and our perception of the world? The multi-day event "Thinking through Materialities" invites you to understand materials not just as passive objects, but as active sources of knowledge. In an interdisciplinary framework between art, science and design, we will embark on an experimental journey through different material worlds - with the aim of thinking, researching and designing beyond familiar boundaries.
The co-creative lecture performance TEXTILE LANDSCAPES will conclude the second day of the hub.
How can the global textile network be told on stage? Where do global clothing routes run? What stories do our garments tell? And what remains when we take them off? What do the aesthetics of the textile remnants tell us?
Between body, clothing, consumption and the question of colonial continuities, a poetic and political journey is created along the textile life cycle - from the cotton field to the garbage dump.
