New formats of exchange and reflection
A dialogue will round off the triad of dramatic composition for INN SITU. We will invite people from the spheres of science/research, everyday culture and music to respond to the outsider perspectives presented in the exhibition. The aim of this is to experiment with new ways to exchange viewpoints.
We started with a dialogue-based jam session between three different perspectives on the theme of ‘city’: ethnology, architecture and urban histories. The three speakers Silke Meyer, Christoph W. Bauer and Arno Ritter will each select an image from the exhibition and explain how they perceive the city today. They were musically accompanied by Juliana Haider and Siggi Haider.
