the centre
- The Käte Hamburger Research Centre global dis:connect, funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, investigates globalisation as a dynamic process shaped by the interplay of integration, disconnection, and disintegration. Our work focuses on understanding how connections emerge, fail, or remain absent, in both historical and contemporary contexts.
- the centre
research
- global dis:connect approaches globalisation through the lens of dis:connectivity, focusing on absences, detours and interruptions that shape historical and contemporary global processes. Rather than assuming linear integration, we examine the gaps, delays and disruptions that make globalisation uneven and socially significant.
  
  Our research is structured around six key areas – absences, detours, interruptions, laboratories, cultural infrastructures and temporalities – which foster interdisciplinary dialogue without normative assumptions or claims of completeness.
- research
fellows
- The cornerstone of global dis:connect is the fellowship programme, in which approximately ten scholars come to Munich each year. They research dis:connectivity on site and in close contact with the directors and their peers. Fellows also have the opportunity to host workshops on the topics of their research.

15 june, Film Screening: Boalândia (2024)

Art as resistance, cinema as collective empowerment: Join us for a screening of Boalândia followed by an Artist Talk.

The documentary by Patrik Thomas and Mathias Reitz Zausinger explores cultural resistance in the peripheries of Brazil, where activists and collectives use film, music, performance, and community media to fight racism, police violence, environmental destruction, and social exclusion. Filmed over three years across Brazilian cities and regions, Boalândia captures how art becomes a tool of visibility, solidarity, and political imagination.

After the screening, Erika Zerwes and Patrik Thomas will discuss artistic activism, documentary practices, and the role of visual culture in shaping political communities.
