The end-of-year talk at the Berlin University of the Arts, which will take place on 17 December 2021 at 4 pm with representatives from science, art and politics, will consider the current situation of knowledge cultures from the perspective of an expanded concept of research in interaction with Berlin’s diverse scientific institutions.

The image of a border or threshold, which is always present from an institutional perspective, will be reconsidered, evaluated using examples of hybrid research and overlaid with alternative models. If, in the endeavour to institutionally frame artistic research, the focus seems to be primarily on the arts, it is often lost sight of the fact that research questions and methods in the sciences and the arts have always been intertwined. A broader understanding of research opens up sustainable development perspectives for Berlin as a centre of science.
