Cohabitation - A Manifesto for Solidarity of Animals and Humans in Urban Space

Cities have always provided habitats for many species, including non-human species. Currently, the migration of animals into cities is even increasing worldwide. The project Cohabitation pleads for a fundamentally expanded image of the city, calls for animals and humans to be recognized as equal urban actors, and presents new approaches for the future development of interspecies cities.

The exhibition Cohabitation - A Manifesto for Solidarity of Animals and Humans in Urban Space, presents over 30 artistic and design positions on the theme. Based on 3 key perspectives "Anthropocity", "Eco City" and "Zoopolis", they question the ambivalent relationship between animals, humans and nature in the urban context and offer perspectives for the revision of prevailing conditions.

The Chair of Space and Design is showing the National Fisheries Center and Aquarium project, which was planned by Ray and Charles Eames in Washington D.C. in the late 1960s.

The exhibition runs from 05.06.21 to 04.07.21.
The venue is silent green in Berlin.
