Bodies
Much of what influences our perceptions and decisions is not accessible at the purely rational level, but is literally incorporated in us.
Subject: Cultural Education
The Haus der Kulturen der Welt develops its program from assorted building blocks: academic discourses, exhibitions, concerts, publications. Art, research and education are intertwined. Within the framework of Cultural Education, new questions are raised and translated into creative practice. Schools become stages; stages become spaces of self-empowerment. The forms and formats are kept open but they are subordinated to leitmotifs that run through the educational work. This guide through past and current projects of Cultural Education at HKW is broken down into seven of these leitmotifs.
Overview
Environment
Humankind is influencing its environment to an unprecedented degree. How can we live up to this responsibility?
Experiments
Finding the optimal path requires experimentation. In the 1960s and ‘70s, educational policy ventured forward in a particularly radical way.
Future
To shape the society of (beyond) tomorrow, we have to be able to imagine it.
Intersectionality
Class, race and gender determine our identity. The more these characteristics deviate from the norm, the more specific discrimination we are exposed to.
Learning spaces
Education must be given space – and not just in terms of built architectures. What environments learning needs has been the subject of repeated discussions for decades.
Reforms
Who is allowed to participate in education and how must it be perpetually renegotiated? Reforms ensure constant adaptation to changing ideals.
