From nomads to expats - how we move changes the environment and ourselves

Nadav Nir, Freie Universität Berlin

We will go through time and space, learning about the effects people had (and have) on the environment, one step at a time

This is a question of perspective and connecting the dots. In this 1.5-hour experience, participants will go through time and space, learning about the effects people had on the environment by moving from A to B and how it changes our own course and perspectives. Using 3 examples from studies of effects in the past 7 millennia, we will illustrate each phenomenon and think together what that could mean for us and for nature.

Join us for an immersive workshop that blends movement, history, and environment. Through interactive installations, you’ll step into landscapes shaped by migration, erosion, and climate change—moving across maps, navigating unexpected obstacles, and examining materials from different places and times.

Together we’ll reflect on how people and environments have shaped each other from the ancient past to today, and how our choices ripple into the future. Expect hands-on exploration, shifting perspectives, and a few surprising sensory moments along the way.

 

Note: Our reserved seats have now all been taken – thank you for the great interest! But not to worry: we always keep a number of seats available for spontaneous guests. So even without a reservation, you’re very welcome to come along. And if you’d like to be notified when a spot opens up, you can sign up for our waiting list.
