Oxana Timofeeva Porträt, Photo: Oxana Timofeeva
In der gemeinsamen Vortragsreihe „thinking inside out“ von ZKM und HfG laden wir internationale Gäste aus den Bereichen Philosophie, Literatur und Kunst zu einem offenen Austausch mit Hochschulangehörigen, ZKM-Mitarbeitern und der Karlsruher Öffentlichkeit ein.
Am 4.12.25 wird Oxana Timofeeva zu Gast sein. Titel ihres Vortrags: Where is Home? Topophilia in Times of Displacement
Der Talk ist auf Englisch. Eintritt frei.
This talk reflects on the changing meaning of “home” in an age marked by war, exile, and forced migration. Drawing on the concept of topophilia—the affective bond between person and place—I explore how this attachment is challenged, transformed, or reconstituted through experiences of displacement. Combining philosophical inquiry with autogeographical reflection, I try to make another sense of dwelling and locality.
