Is it enough to simply push humans into the background? No. What matters is rethinking subjectivity: not as an isolated self, but as a node in a network of human and non-human actors.
These very questions were the focus of our panel discussion—we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated. As part of the exhibition »Wir« sind nicht die einzige Art von »Wir« February 20–March 9, 2025

“As long as we are not inspired by the fact that everything in this world has a life of its own and is interconnected, we will remain frightened and afraid of death, and as long as that is the case, the choice will be: control or nothing.”—Richard Powers
