«Wahrnehmungswelten» - Rendez-vous des arts mit der Künstlerin Ursula Biemann

The art projects "Devenir Universidad" and "Forest Mind" emerged from a long-standing collaboration between the artist Ursula Biemann and the Inga in the Colombian Amazon region. The starting point was the founding of an indigenous university initiated by the Inga. Both projects deal with the rainforest as a living knowledge space and make different forms of knowledge, thinking and learning tangible.

In her presentation, Ursula Biemann explains her artistic approach. This combines scientific, personal and phenomenological perspectives.
