Works by artist fellow Luísa Telles enter the permanent collection of Museum Fünf Kontinente - 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.

- Here is where to find out about coming events, new publications, press releases and other news from global dis:connect.

outreach
- At global dis:connect, research is meant to circulate. Through publications, media formats and artist events, we connect academic research with public debate and artistic perspectives.

Works by artist fellow Luísa Telles enter the permanent collection of Museum Fünf Kontinente

We are delighted to announce that sculptures by Luísa Telles, artist fellow at the Käte Hamburger Research Centre global dis:connect, have entered the permanent collection of the Museum Fünf Kontinente in Munich.

Founded in 1868, the Museum Fünf Kontinente is one of Germany’s oldest museums and among Europe’s leading institutions dedicated to global cultures.

Inspired by the gourd, an object that has travelled across continents for millennia, Telles’ porcelain vessels reflect on migration and displacement, tracing movements and forms carried across time and geography. Developed in collaboration with artist Pedro Oliveira, the work’s sound installation brings together voices inspired by Gloria E. Anzaldúa and Édouard Glissant. It explores how the grain of the voice can materialise their concepts while keeping them in movement – beyond and despite borders.

At global dis:connect, Luísa Telles’ artistic research engages with questions of borders, mobility and dis:connectivity, bringing artistic perspectives into dialogue with the Centre’s interdisciplinary research on globalisation.
