As part of the Global Research Academy 'Sustainable Cities' jointly organised by Freie Universität Berlin, King's College London, and University of São Paulo, Irene Hilden will give a talk on Struggles for Memories in Berlin.
Against this background of direct instrumentalisation of memories about the 1970-90s transitions, we would like to shift the analytical lens to aspects of dialogism in practices of looking back at these periods and making sense of this time as formative for one’s individual and collective selves. How do diverging perspectives on this past interact, and what are the ‘sites’ of convergence within and between different memories? This focus on existing and emerging mnemonic convergence is underpinned not just by the necessity of overcoming polarisation that manifests itself in the ‘fractured’ or ‘pillarised’ regimes of remembering transitions in Eastern Europe (Bernhard and Kubik 2014). We propose to explore the contradictions and connections within the practices of remembering transitions – vernacular and mediated, local or transnational – as a ground for potential social and political solidarities.
Organised by Ksenia Robbe (University of Groningen), Andrei Zavadski (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin), and Agnieszka Mrozik (Polish Academy of Sciences). Part of Memory Studies Association (MSA) Week of Virtual Events.

Film Screening of "Indiens steierne Wunder" (1934, OmE) and discussion with Habiba Insaf. What image of India was produced and what kind of knowledge was to be conveyed to the newsreel audience? In what ways does the film draw a connection between the reality of life in India and Germany? Does the image that was formed of India within the framework of such formats reveal anything about the German self-image or its claim to power on a global political level during the 1930s? How do we deal with difficult heritage today?

In this presentation Tahani Nadim examines the genome as a biocultural artefact, a historical and material formation connecting the biological and the cultural. She argues that genomes might thus be best understood as “informed matter”, that is, as “constituted in their relations to complex informational and material environments.” (Andrew Barry) In doing so, she is interested in reconstructing how the “human” might be enfolded and implicated in the archives of natural history.
Workshop organised by Dr. Henri Michel Yéré, Dr. Mavis Machirori, Prof. Dr. Katharina Schramm, and Dr. Lauren Paremoer

Museums are often considered as instruments of dissemination of knowledge created elsewhere, but museums have a deep history as institutions of knowledge creation behind the scenes of their public exhibitions. Tahani Nadim joins Johannes Vogel (MfN) and Ken Arnold (Wellcome Trust; Medical Museion) to discuss the following questions: How is the definition of museum-based research shifting in the 21st century? How can museums facilitate knowledge creation with and by the public? How can exhibitions become experiments? How is collection-based research changing in the face of movements to decolonize museums? How can museum-based research assist in tackling “wicked problems”, from climate change to the biodiversity crash? This interdisciplinary panel will explore the future of knowledge creation in museums.
Tahani Nadim presents together with Hagit Keysar as part of the Political Imaginations workshop at the Minerva Humanities Center at Tel Aviv University.
More than 40 years ago, a handful of US-Americans decided what would travel through space on the Golden Records for the next 500 million years. In the Golden Record Studios of the performance art collective matthaei & konsorten, a new archive is being created - with inputs from experts in the fields of anthropology, community building, body practices and logics of collecting. In her contribution, Irene Hilden looks back into the past, reflecting on early sound projects and their practices and imaginations.
"Vorm verdunkelten Hintergrund des permanenten Rauschens von Krisendiskursen, ängstlichem Stolz auf die Verwerfungen des Anthropozäns & am Ende des ersten Jahrs der Pandemie fällt es offensichtlicher schwerer, den pop-technologischen Optimismus der westlichen 70er noch zu teilen.
Doch welche Lust & Hybris steckt auch in der Angst vorm Verschwinden der eigenen Spezies? & was ist denn so wertvoll am bisher Erreichten, daß wir das Projekt „Menschheit“ unbedingt fortsetzen sollten?"

The modern world is defined by the 'expansion of the past.' The past is often at the center of various social conflicts and public debate. Moreover, the communicative infrastructure of historical culture is undergoing significant changes. Digital technologies create new types of audiences and forms of representation of the past, which calls for taking into account the hybrid nature of contemporary historical culture. Against this background, the academic status of public history is as high as ever. Yet, the practical issues related to the actualization of the past in modern culture turn out to be inextricably linked to theoretical challenges. There are numerous discussions concerning the implementation of the principles of publicity, the temporal framework of modernity, effects of digital technologies, criteria of authenticity in relation to various artifacts of the past and forms of its appropriation. Theoretical ideas and concepts require reexamination and testing with regard to new social and technological contexts. This round table proposes to discuss the state of this area of knowledge and the prospects for its further development. Participants: Serge Noiret (European University Institute), Mykola Makhortykh (IKMB), Andrei Zavadski (Centre for Anthropological Research on Museums and Heritage (CARMAH), Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin). Chair: Daria Khlevnyuk (Poletayev Institute).
The digitization of collections transforms the museum in many ways. It necessitates spatial and organizational reconfigurations, generates novel research objects and questions, and introduces new roles and processes in all areas of the museum.

Weaving practice is embedded in a range of personal and social values, entangled with multiple political agendas. This paper considers the complex transformation of traditional weaving in two rural sites in Poland and Romania. It explores the shifting weaving cultures and ways in which dramatic social and historical change inflected practice, skill, designs, and patterns.
