With the opening of the exhibition On Water – WaterKnowledge in Berlin in October, the Logoskop is back on track: in a new setting, poets will once again explore the science exhibition at the Humboldt Lab every month.
This time, slam poets Ruth Fuentes and Bas Böttcher will take part. Together, they will comment on the exhibition ‘On Water’ with live recitations. Visitors are also invited to accompany them on their eloquent tour of the new exhibition.
