What would the world look like without rhinos and pangolins? What does it mean when a rhino is worth more dead than alive? What should the world know about pangolins? How does a rhino perceive humanity? What stories are missing from exhibitions about these wild animals?
These are some questions addressed by Co-MammalHub, an international event series that invites creative engagement with endangered mammals through lectures, discussions, and artist-led workshops. Following successful stops in Pretoria and Nairobi, Co-MammalHub is coming to Berlin. Over two afternoons, the project team will present previous works and participant contributions and invite museums visitors to be part of the conversation as well.
Join us in the ‘Highlights of Preparation’ exhibition! We warmly invite all museum visitors to become part of this international exchange. No prior knowledge is required. International guests will be speaking English; a German translation will be provided where possible.
