Making Crisis Visible
11 February to 2 June 2020
Senckenberg Naturmuseum Frankfurt
Crises are phenomena of social perception. Art and design are also media of perception and of making crises and crisis research visible. The exhibits in the exhibition were created in a dialogue between scientists from the Leibniz Research Network "Crises of a Globalized World" and the Goethe University Frankfurt on the one hand and young designers and artists from the Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach am Main and other cooperating universities on the other. On display are art and knowledge objects that visualize projects from crisis research. In a joint examination of the crises of our time, its scientific treatment as well as its political relevance, areas of friction and points of contact between the disciplines were explored and horizon lines shifted. The development of new terrain has thus only just begun.
