DEEDS CALENDAR: Kick-off to the Humboldt Forum’s annual theme: Lecture series “Relationships in the Family” | from 04.12.2024
From 4 December 2024, the Humboldt Forum will be presenting an interdisciplinary lecture series on the Humboldt Forum’s annual theme with Janet Carsten, Tatjana Thelen, Daniel Tyradellis and others. At first glance, family seems to be a self-evident, clearly defined topic: (almost) everyone has it – and everyone has it differently! It becomes more complex when the diversity of its interpretations and lived forms becomes apparent. It quickly becomes clear that “family” has not always meant the same thing at all times. The interdisciplinary lecture series Beziehungsweise Familie, with well-known British cultural anthropologist Janet Carsten and German social anthropologist Tatjana Thelen, among others, explores the concept of family and asks about alternatives from a global perspective. The lecture series is a prelude to the themed year of the same name at the Humboldt Forum from September 2025 with a major special exhibition, interventions in the permanent exhibitions, artistic positions throughout the building, events, mediation and educational programs.
