The DenkRaum at the Forschungscampus Dahlem (Dahlem Research Campus) opens its doors for presentations, discussions and creative developments surrounding diverse topics. It is making its debut exploring “Zeit & Zeitlichkeit” (Time & Temporality).
How do people perceive time, and how do they talk about it? Is time relative? How do things make us reflect on time? Can you waste time?
Our social and cultural environments shape our notions of time, but how we interpret them depends on individual factors. How we measure and structure time is also determined by social and cultural norms and personal experiences. Thoughts about time are shared in stories and memories as well as through things.
The “Zeit & Zeitlichkeit” DenkRaum invites visitors to discover and co-create various thematic displays. Or simply to spend some time there. The space is open Thursdays from noon to 8 pm and Sundays from 11 am to 6 pm.
Cultures – Research – Things – Knowledge
The Forschungscampus Dahlem (FC Dahlem) is a new research and presentation venue of the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz (SPK), where different competencies come together to develop and convey knowledge about material and immaterial cultures. The FC Dahlem’s primary focus is to make research processes transparent and encourage participation from diverse interest groups. The central terms “Kulturen – Forschen – Dinge – Wissen” (Cultures – Research – Things – Knowledge) summarise and reflect the work. We support equitable collaborations and promote the elimination of knowledge hierarchies.
