Making Crises Visible Opening
Crises are phenomena of social perception. Art and design are also media of perception and of making crises and crisis research visible. On behalf of all participating institutions, we cordially invite you to celebrate the opening of the exhibition "Making Crises Visible" with us and to participate in a science-art-experiment.
The exhibits of the exhibition were created in a dialogue between scientists from the Leibniz Research Network "Crises of a Globalized World" and the Goethe University Frankfurt on the one hand and young designers and artists from the Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach am Main and other cooperating universities on the other. On display will be art and knowledge objects that visualize projects from crisis research.
In a joint examination of the crises of our time, their scientific treatment and political relevance, areas of friction and points of contact between the disciplines were explored and horizon lines shifted. The development of new terrain has thus only just begun.
The evening will be accompanied by a dance performance by students of the Institute for Applied Theatre Sciences at the Justus-Liebig University of Gießen
