Event: Markt für nützliches Wissen und Nicht-Wissen

"If we share. Dialogue on scientific and social cooperation"

On 23 September, the Goethe-Institut Brussels – in collaboration with the Literaturhaus Berlin and the Mobile Akademie Berlin – is organising the Markt für nützliches Wissen und Nicht-Wissen. Lizenz Nr. 9  Wenn wir teilen. Dialoge über wissenschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Kooperationen. (Market for useful knowledge and non-knowledge. Licence no. 9 - If we share. Dialogue on scientific and social cooperation).

With experts from science, literature and other arts, as well as representatives of civil society, we wish to reflect on the impact of the pandemic and the future potential for social cooperation. This is why we are opening up the opportunity for dialogue between experts and the audience at our event.

Scientists, artists and activists from Germany, Belgium and the Global South, including Stefan Rahmstorf and Kira Vinke from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Philipp Osten, Teresa Bücker, Nuran David Calis, Promona Sengupta, Oliva Mitscherlich-Schönherr, Gregor Hagedorn, Elisabeth Massute, Eric Otieno Sumba, Konrad Adam, Adriana Urrea, Felipe Dias Rego and Jean Macq, will share their knowledge about the acute crises in the modern world. The pandemic clearly shows that crises overlap and we must cooperate in our response to them. The audience has the opportunity to ask experts questions directly and to discuss the problems and challenges of tackling the pandemic as well as growing social inequality, risks to democracy and Anthropocene distortions, such as climate change and mass extinction.  

The event starting at 7 p.m. at the Literaturhaus Berlin is being held as part of the Festival der Kooperationen of the Literaturhaus Berlin and Alexander Kluge and the Goethe-Institut’s Lockdown Lessons project. The format Markt für nützliches Wissen und Nicht-Wissen has been developed by the Mobile Akademie Berlin and implemented internationally. It involves interdisciplinary research about learning and forgetting, exploring narrative formats for conveying knowledge.

The audience on site can choose from a range of 30 talks! Experts can be booked for a half-hour talk . Or there is the possibility to follow the dialogues with headphones on 5 channels on Markt-Radio in the Literaturhaus. 

But you can also follow selected talks online via live stream or zoom talk.
