Launch of the new focus “Farming and Using the Land”
Off to the fields of the future!
Let it grow in the fields of the future! For a whole year, Futurium will be focusing on agriculture and land use – and the many ideas for making them fairer and more sustainable. We’ll be launching our “Fields of the Future” with an opening event in the open air that starts in the evening and stretches into the night.
Event
Drop by, dive in and celebrate with us. Our forecourt will be turning green – with the help of our cultivated installation “Superland” by Parzelle X – Bureau for landscape architecture and nature education and artist Benjamin Frick, an oasis in the middle of the grey concrete. Experience a night full of ideas, with a performance by the Apparat ensemble and the visions of our experts. The exhibition and Lab will remain open extra-long for you to discover everything. Of course, music is a must, too, and this time it’ll be especially delicious – doktor:WAFFEL will be serving you disco music by prescription.
