01/07/2025 Inaugural lecture “Umgebungen Reparieren” by Hanna Göbel

We would like to invite you to the inaugural lecture “Umgebungen Reparieren” (repairing environments) of Hanna Göbel on July 1 with a reception after at HafenCity University Hamburg.

We are looking forward to seeing all of you there, and are honored to welcome Hanna Göbel in her new role at HCU Hamburg!

About the Lecture
"Das Reparieren gilt als kulturelle Praxis im Alltag. In Bezug auf räumlich gestaltete Umgebungen wird die Reparatur als Kulturtechnik der Zukunft diskutiert. Wie ist das Reparieren im technowissenschaftlichen Zeitalter und im Anthropozän zu denken als eine transformative Praxis, die vielfältige Formen von Umgebungen zu gestalten vermag? Der Vortrag führt in aktuelle Diskussionen und empirische Zusammenhänge ein und gibt einen programmatischen Ausblick darauf, welche Modi kultureller Produktionen damit einhergehen und am Arbeitsgebiet „Methoden urbaner Praxis“ an der HafenCity Universität erprobt werden."
