Newsletter WS 20/21

Dear members of the Graduate Research Programme Changing Frames, dear readers,

 

A rather quiet, but no less productive semester is coming to an end. In the last few months, the focus of our doctoral candidates was on finding their way into the writing process and developing routines. The first drafts of texts or chapters have emerged, which have matured through stimulating discussions in the colloquia and are now being further elaborated.

We are very pleased that we were able to welcome our new fellow Charlotte Hoffmann in September. She will briefly introduce herself and her project below.

Every day we are confronted with the challenges of these specials times, that also strongly affect the arts and culture sector. However, at the same time, we see the many opportunities that are as-sociated with the current situation, too. For example, the doctoral candidates tested their technical skills and started a short film series in October 2020, presenting aspects of one research project every month. Take a look, you can find the link to the videos below!

The ongoing limitations also mean that we still are restricted to meeting each other in digital spaces. This was also the case at the online conference organised by Changing Frames and a group of project participants and doctoral students from the HfBK Dresden, in particular the ESF project artemak+X – Techniques and Materials of Modern and Contemporary Art in October. Dur-ing the conference, best practices in interdisciplinary doctoral programmes and their challenges were discussed. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all participants once again for the fruitful exchange.

The digital space opens up potentials that perhaps would not have been possible to experience in any other way. Which skills and new insights this time has brought about, what has proven itself and should ideally be continued in the future, we summarised in short impulses in the section Superpower. In addition, the section Pandemie: Und jetzt? – Semester 2.0: (Digital) Research and Education, reports on exciting, unusual or extraordinary online events in which the doctoral candidates have participated in recent months.

 

On behalf of our team, we send you our warmest regards,

Lisa Braun and Anna Katharina Thaler
