STUDIO BONN is the new public think tank of the Art and Exhibition Hall of the Federal Republic of Germany. Join artists, scientists, programmers and activists discussing models of care for global communal infrastructure - mental, physical and digital. The events will remain accessible online in the form of videos and podcasts in both German and English and invite further collective discussion. Supplemented by in-depth essays, a ‘coral reef’ of long-term thinking about the common ground aggregates. Watch it grow on www.studiobonn.io.
