And this is how we have to imagine working in Karlsruhe that ZKM has to speak to the city of Karlsruhe and engage with it and join in with what that city is doing. But also act as a portal to the wider world that's multi-directional, that allows those local stories to connect with questions of a similar nature, but a different nature in South America or Asia or Africa or elsewhere. / Alistair Hudson

Description

I'm very much a believer in the idea of what might be called the »interlocal«, which in a way replaces this idea of the »international« with this idea that, where you have a homogenous operating system for the world that applied in every location. But actually the reality of the world is, that society exists as a network of interconnected specific places, local places, talking to other local places in the same country or on the other side of the world.
