Oddkin° labs - A collaborative project presentation

With Chiara Garbellotto, Sina Ribak, Constanza Mendoza, Debbie Onuoha & Sybille Neumeyer.

oddkin°labs is a collaborative experiment with naturecultures that took place at the Experimentierfeld of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin this year.

  • How do our collaborative experiences look like?
  • Which potential has storytelling in the museum and scientific communication?
  • When and where expertise is an obstacle? When is it necessary?

These are some of the questions that came up during the three oddkin sessions. In this gathering we would like to open up and share the challenges and gaps we encountered. In a spirit of co-learning we invite

Please share this invitation widely and wildly!

“Staying with the trouble requires making oddkin;
that is, we require each other in unexpected
collaborations and combinations, in hot compost piles.
We become-with each other or not at all.”
