11 july, Image Weaving Workshop with Artist Fellow Luísa Telles - global dis:connect

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.

11 july, Image Weaving Workshop with Artist Fellow Luísa Telles

In this hands-on workshop, Artist Fellow Luísa Telles introduces participants to the technique of weaving images through paper strips. Drawing from her artistic research on the circulation of tropical plants and colonial histories, she invites participants to explore image weaving as a method of transforming photographs taken at the botanical garden.

Through cutting and interlacing paper strips, participants will create new images that reveal unexpected connections, fragments and narratives. The workshop reflects on the journeys of tropical plants that were brought to Europe through colonial networks and economic interests, while offering insights into Telles’ artistic research and practice.

The workshop takes place as part of Der Fahrende Raum at Harthof Plaza and is open to everyone present on site. No prior experience is required.
