We Have Never Been Only Human

Twelve Speculations on the Posthuman, the More-than-Human and the Non-Human

Lecture hall ruin

The research group "Posthuman, More-than-Human and Non-Human" of Die Junge Akademie at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities and the National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina presents artistic and scientific projects developed as site-specific interventions in and responses to the collections, spaces and history of the Berlin Museum of Medical History at the Charité. The works speculate – from artistic, scientific, or both perspectives – on what it means to conceive of the world and reality beyond a humanist and anthropocentric view.
