Here you will find the recordings of past events of the »Terrestrial University«.

The »Terrestrial University« is an experimental lecture series in the context of the exhibition »Critical Zones – Observatories for Earthly Politics«, and we cordially invite you to attend the class. In different formats such as lectures, talks or films, we turn to the critical situation of the Earth. The series was held weekly from June to July and will take place once a month from August 2020.

The »Terrestrial University« is accompanied by the app Telegram. Follow the contributions via the ZKM channel t.me/zkmkarlsruhe or join our Telegram Critical Zones group. We welcome questions and feedback: t.me/zkm_criticalzones

»Do we continue to nourish dreams of escaping, or do we start seeking a territory that we and our children can inhabit? Either we deny the existence of the problem, or else we look for a place to land.« – Bruno Latour, Down to Earth: Politics in the New Climatic Regime, Polity Press, Cambridge 2018

»Oh my, we are in this together and no matter where we are positioned, we are responsible to and for each other. I think that’s about being terrestrial.« – Donna Haraway, during the streaming festival of the opening of the exhibition »Critical Zones«
