Workshop series about the materials of tomorrow

Visting Material Futures

Speculate with us about the materials of tomorrow and co-create a temporary exhibit for Futurium Lab! In the workshop series "Materialzukünfte besuchen” (Visiting Material Futures), researchers from Matters of Activity share insights into their work, which you will use to develop futures scenarios and design prototypes. The experienced speculation team of CollActive Materials will guide you – no previous knowledge or special skills required!

Cooperation

Science communicators Antje Nestler and Kristin Werner are connecting science and society at the research cluster Matters of Activity. Within the co-design project CollActive Materials, they explore how people from research and society can engage in conversation through speculative design. Their colleagues Eva Bullermann and Julia Blumenthal support them in this endeavor.

CollActive Materials is an experimental laboratory of the Berlin Clusters of Excellence »Matters of Activity« (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) and »Science of Intelligence« (Technische Universität Berlin), funded by the Berlin University Alliance. The aim of the project is to develop Speculative Design as a new approach for knowledge exchange between research, society, and design, thus making joint encounters possible on equal footing. As an experimental, transdisciplinary project, CollActive Materials brings material everyday practices from diverse social contexts into open conversation with approaches in research.
