Collecting Stories
Articulating Worlds

When considering the ecological upheavals of our time, the question arises as to which works of art and theory manage to present visions for a better form of communal living between all species. Such indications can be found in the works of Vinciane Despret and Donna Haraway, who cultivate a speculative mode of storytelling, for example in the film “Camille & Ulysses”.

Transition to a Digital Space
Bridging Distance Like Never Before

While the pandemic brought the digital centrestage, it also foregrounded the way in which our lives are now “phygital”, a mix of the digital and physical.

Some utopias of the past still have an effect today – in costumes from “The Handmaid’s Tale”, activists protest against the appointment of the conservative judge Amy Coney Barrett to the US Supreme Court in Washington in 2020.

A conversation with political scientist, Thomas Schölderle, about the purpose and effect of utopias.

#FUTURENOW – SCHOOLS FOR SUSTAINIBILITY

How do people in different regions of Northwest Europe deal with the issue of "sustainability"? What are the similarities and differences? And, what can we learn from the example of others and adopt for our everyday lives? These are precisely the questions addressed by the project #FutureNow - Schools for Sustainability.
