International Cultural Relations and Diversity
How is diversity lived in and through international cultural institutions? What
are cultural policy strategies for creating a diversity of relationships
despite economic, political, and administrative boundaries and limitations?
This seminar will focus on cultural exchange programs and formats in the
Berlin-Brandenburg region as well as in the city of Hamburg. It will discuss
how cultural institutions create and live relationships in an international
context. What are actions, themes, and organizational forms in and within an
internationally diverse context?
The plan is to visit institutions in the region to gain a better understanding
of how international cultural relations are lived and organized. Guests working
and living in international cultural networks will also be invited. In this
seminar, a selection of ethnographic methods such as interviews, participant
observation or mapping will be practiced and applied, for example to prepare
visits, stimulate discussions or for documentation.
Depending on the students' subject area, the following locations can be
visited: KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Gangway Straßensozialarbeit in Berlin
e.V., Atlantik-Brücke e.V und andere.
Seminar is held in English!
