5 Jahre Humboldt Labor
An underground, slow-burn sound art night.
To mark the fifth anniversary of the Humboldt Forum, the Humboldt Labor in Berlin is hosting a special program that combines research, poetry, exhibition practices, and audience participation. The event features a diverse schedule including the poetry slam format "#Lokoskop" where slam poets Dominique Macri and Johannes Berger (aka YUNUS) comment on the "On Water" exhibition through live recitations. Visitors can attend "Meet the Scientist" sessions with agroecologist Marcel Robischon discussing species extinction and musicologist Sebastian Klotz exploring aquatic musicology and ocean sounds.
