The discussion series addresses the changing significance of neutrality in the context of global politics and brings together expertise from the worlds of art, politics and science. Each event highlights a specific topic related to neutrality.

The second event will examine the close links between knowledge, neutrality and universality and scrutinise how supposedly neutral research work influences the production of knowledge. It will discuss which perspectives are favoured or suppressed by institutions such as collections, libraries and archives and whether genuinely neutral knowledge with global validity can exist.

With Jovita dos Santos Pinto, Sascha Zala, Denise Tonella and Gabriela Löffel. Moderation: Roger de Weck
