In the association rounds with Stephanie Kurz and Dennis Oliver Schroer, interactive exercises will take place that evoke associations with the UdK Berlin and incorporate and allow different perspectives from different groups at the university to take effect. The reflections arising from these rounds and the results of the other formats taking place will become part of an experimental, participatory exhibition. This exhibition is intended to be a collection of the voices, perspectives, and facets of the UdK Berlin, like a snapshot. It will ultimately be incorporated into further development.
