Design Talks

Symposium Times of Waste

On 18 and 19 March 2020, the Kunstgewerbemuseum of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin will host the Times of Waste symposium. The occasion and starting point is the exhibition Times of Waste – The Leftover. Following on from this, the event is dedicated to present alternative design and representation strategies that demonstrate a way out of the wasteocen.

At the interfaces between design, technology and natural science, an interdisciplinary dialogue is created, which is carried out together with the visitors in various discussion formats. The focus will be on the latest findings in research into sustainable materials and their potential for design practice. At the same time, the role of museums as representatives, preservers and utilisers of analogue material worlds will be examined.
