On the Relationship between Human Beings and other Living Things

Do we need a new understanding of the creatures that fall under the category of the living – animals, plants, people? Does humankind need a new contract with ‘nature’? This evening focuses on the relationship between humanity and Mother Nature from an artistic perspective and asks about the meaning of ‘nutrition’: how do we treat food? Why is it unfairly distributed around the world?

Von einer, die raus zog”), Hans-Peter Dürr (physicist, tbc), Andreas Hoppe (TV police detective, author of “Allein unter Gurken: Mein abenteuerlicher Versuch, mich regional zu ernähren”, tbc), Thomas Macho (cultural scientist, Humboldt University Berlin), Falko Schmieder (editor of “Überleben.
