Wohnforum Talks | FS 22

This spring's Wohnforum Talks are dedicated to the topic "Photography, Video and Discourse – Visual Research on Housing, the City and Architecture".

In contemporary society, everyday life and the media are closely interconnected in a new quality. In this context, the visual undoubtedly
gains central importance. Sociology and anthropology address this transformation in term of theory program and research methods. The
contributions to the Wohnforum Talks in spring semester 2022 will focus on these developments and seek to establish references to housing
and urban research as well as architecture.
