On the occasion of Berlin Science Week, LAS (Light Art Space) hosts a conversation between artist Jakob Kudsk Steensen and Dr. Kim Mortega from the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, moderated by guest curator Emma Enderby and introduced by Dr. Bettina Kames, Director of LAS. They will discuss the LAS commission Berl-Berl which was on view at Halle am Berghain from July to September 2021. The talk will take place at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin and will be live streamed on YouTube.
Follow the speakers as they take you on a journey to the origins of Berlin, discuss what it takes to bring art and science together and how Sorbian mythologies can guide us through the wetlands of today. The audience will get a look behind the scenes of a collaboration that brings together art and science as well as get an insight into the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin’s vast collection through an artistic lense. The talk touches on Berlin’s past as a swamp, highlights the importance of its remaining wetlands for the unique biodiversity of the city and tells the many stories connected to this intricate ecosystem.
