The Humboldt Labor is pleased to present the catalog for the current exhibition “On Water. WasserWissen in Berlin” on November 7 at 5:30 p.m.!
Titled “On Water. Fluid Perspectives,” this richly illustrated book explores the themes of the exhibition and expands upon them with additional perspectives. In a discussion, editors Anna-Lisa Dieter and Daniel Tyradellis, along with graphic designer Dina Fluck, will explore the challenges of knowledge transfer, the power and vulnerability of water—and why it can sometimes be enlightening to get a book a little wet.
We look forward to seeing you at the Humboldt Labor!
