If science is queen at Humboldt Lab, then #Logoskop is her court jester. Since 2021, artistic freedom has been making monthly appearances at Humboldt University’s exhibition space, using literature to shake up the scientific perspective. Equipped with microphones and amplifiers, two slam poets wander through the exhibition and recite texts.
This time, slam poets Dominique Macri and Johannes Berger aka YUNUS will be joining us. Together, they will comment on the exhibition On Water with live recitations. Visitors are invited to accompany them on their tour of eloquence.
