Everyone is talking about man-made climate change. But although it is now widely recognised, its consequences are extremely unevenly distributed. These climate_in_justices are likely to increase in the future.
On the occasion of the Long Night of the Sciences, scientists from various disciplines and institutions will talk about their research on the consequences of man-made climate change at the Humboldt Lab. In three lectures and a panel discussion, agricultural ecologists, architects, geologists and political scientists, among others, will ask the question: What can we do to counter climate change – and how can we distribute its effects more fairly?
Access to the events is open to all Long Night of the Sciences ticket holders – available from the beginning of May here: Long Night of the Sciences.

Dis_abled Nature. Damaged Landscapes and Sensory Diversity in Anthropocene Environments
Talk by Siegfried Saerberg and Robert Stock
Nature and disability are closely linked. The terms reflect the damage, but also the diversity of our world. The crisis of nature cultures – their dis_ability – is the consequence of globalised economies and climate injustices. Attempts at healing and restoration are linked to them, as are protests and artistic interventions aimed at other futures. But how sustainable are approaches to the climate crisis that rely on a visual anthropocentrism and the idea of nature domination? Doesn’t smelling, touching and hearing have to be brought to the fore in order to make room for a diverse perceptual knowledge that is close to living beings?

Agritecture. Of mushrooms, dinos and motorways
Talk by Marcel Robischon, Susanne Junker, Dirk Hermann, Celina Schlichting and Tino Brüllke
Can the dark spaces under the A103 motorway be transformed into a mushroom farm? Will an urban forest – comparable to New York’s High Line – run through Berlin’s urban landscape? In the interdisciplinary research, teaching and learning project “Agritecture”, agriculture meets architecture. Here, scientists are rethinking urban spaces together. In the middle of Berlin, they simulate the interactions between plants, animals and architecture. In the lecture, the researchers will present their projects – and show new design options for urban development.

The story of the disappearing water towers
Talk by Tobias Sauter
Mountains are “water towers of the world”. Almost a third of the world’s population depends on their water resources. Glacial ice and snow regulate the seasonal fluctuations of mountain rivers and ensure a balanced water supply for downstream areas. Shrinking and disappearing glaciers threaten the availability of water as well as biodiversity and mountain ecosystems – important resources of people living in and around mountains. The lecture explores the development of high mountain glaciers and the causes and consequences of their threat from climate change.

Migrant organising and administration in dialogue
Panel discussion with Manuela Bojadžijev, Nils Warner (BMZ) and activists of the Stop Deportation Camp at BER
Unevenly distributed climate change impacts are closely linked to flight and migration: Visa applicants from countries particularly affected by climate change are rejected more often than average. Administrative procedures open up the possibility of appeal; migrant resistance takes the issue to the streets. On a panel, representatives from science, administration and migrant organisations will seek dialogue and explore the scope and limits of a migration policy that takes the challenges of climate change seriously.
Participants
Siegfried Saerberg is Professor of Disability Studies and Participation Research at the Protestant University of Applied Sciences Rauhes Haus in Hamburg. There he directs the Centre for Disability Studies (ZeDiSplus). For many years he was the artistic director of numerous inclusive cultural projects. His work and research focuses on disability studies, disability arts and the cultural sociology of the senses.
Robert Stock is Junior Professor for Cultures of the Senses at the Institute for Cultural Studies at the Humboldt University in Berlin and Principal Investigator at the Cluster of Excellence “Matters of Activity. Image Space Material”. His research interests are digital media and dis/abilities, museum and inclusion as well as Luso-African decolonisation and questions of materiality in the context of Anthropocene lifeworlds.
Marcel Robischon has been a full professor of agroecology at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin since 2020. He studied forestry at the Universities of Freiburg and Oxford, earned his PhD in plant biology at the University of Cambridge and worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the USDA Forest Service Institute of Forest Genetics in California. He teaches agroecology and has a special interest in place-based and object-based learning and teaching.
Susanne Junker is Professor of Drafting, Interior Design and Visualisation at the Berlin University of Applied Sciences. She completed her doctorate on the Bauhaus photographer Walter Peterhans at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts, building on a research stay at IIT Chicago. After studying architecture at the Technical University of Berlin, she worked with Prof. Josef Paul Kleihues. She publishes regularly in Baunetz and has received numerous international awards for her photographs.
Dirk Hermann was born in Stralsund. The Berliner by choice studied architecture at the Berlin University of Applied Sciences and completed his Master’s degree in 2022. Since 2018, Dirk Hermann has been working as a freelance interior designer. His work incorporates experience in dealing with form, colour and function from his previous training as a fashion tailor. Since 2006, he has also been a flight attendant for Germany’s largest airline and gathers inspiration during his stays abroad.
Celina Schlichting is a Bachelor of Architecture graduate. As part of the Agritecture research project, she developed a green folly called Saurus together with Johanna Schötz in Interior Design. She is very interested in the history of her hometown Berlin. As an assistant curator, Celina accompanied two exhibitions of the Berliner Architektenverein and the Akademie der Künste. She is currently working on her master’s thesis Herbularius, an interactive herbal museum in Berlin.
Tino Brüllke works as a project manager and consultant for investors from Germany and abroad. He graduated with a Master of Science in Architecture from the Berlin University of Applied Sciences and coordinated and co-curated numerous events, presentations and installations as an employee of the university. For the past five years, he has been a lecturer in the architecture department. In addition to photography, he is interested in the design potential of artificial intelligence.
Tobias Sauter is Professor of Climatology at the Humboldt University in Berlin. His research focuses on polar and high mountain research, weather extremes and the atmospheric water cycle.
Manuela Bojadžijev has been Professor of Migration in Global Perspective at the Institute of European Ethnology at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin since 2020. After academic positions at City University of London and Goldsmiths, University of London, among others, she was Junior Professor for Globalised Cultures at the Faculty of Cultural Studies at Leuphana University Lüneburg from 2015-2020. From 2018-2020, she was also Vice-Director of the Berlin Institute for Empirical Integration and Migration Research (BIM) at Humboldt University, which she co-founded in 2014.
Nils Warner is Deputy Head of Division 500 for “Policy Issues on Flight and Migration” of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.
The Stop Deportation Camp at BER is an activist alliance that campaigns against the deportation of refugees and the establishment of a deportation centre at Berlin-Brandenburg Airport (BER). From 1 to 6 June 2023, the activists organised a protest camp for this purpose, in which several hundred people took part and whose construction the authorities tried to prevent in advance.
