One World? Rethinking Cosmopolitanism
Summary
This panel examines cosmopolitanism as a concept that seems outdated in times of nationalism and polarization. Teddy Cruz and Fonna Forman focus on cross-border urban projects in their work, taking a bottom-up approach, while artist Thomas Mandl addresses the topic from a top-down perspective with his One World Flag. Together, the panel will address the question of how architecture, initiatives, and symbols can promote solidarity as a lived political practice and how global belonging can be rethought today. <p> https://www.german-haus.com <p>
