“Sensing Loss” brings ethnological research from the university into the museum and asks how people encounter loss. The lectures address various forms of grief, nostalgia, memory work and shared new beginnings.
The discussion series “Sensing Loss” brings ethnological research from the university into the museum. Social and cultural anthropologists at all career levels report on their current research into how people experience loss and work through experiences of loss. Sensing Loss asks how loss is encountered, embodied and spatialized – and how new futures can be gained from displacement, dispossession and past injustice. Experiences of loss (loss), their confrontation and processing [r e t u r n] are as diverse as the situations in which people encounter colonialism, marginalisation or violence.
