Berlin\u2019s Institute for Cultural Inquiry (ICI<\/a>) is a research centre that is dedicated to \u201cexploring how diverse cultures can be brought into productive rather than pernicious confrontation.\u201d ICI runs an extensive and exciting public-facing program of lectures, workshops, events, and activities. They host researchers and work together with partner institutions, including the CTCA. Research at the ICI is often clustered around a theme or \u201ccore project\u201d.<\/p>\n From 2018-2020 former CTCA Executive Director, Rebecca Clare Dolgoy participated in a two-year research fellowship as part of ICI’s ERRANS environ\/s<\/a> program. This research explored the construction and deconstruction of knowledge in two different geographical locations.<\/p>\n In 2017\/2018, Rebecca gave several presentations on her research at the ICI and planned the De-Workshops. Working with local collaborators in both Berlin<\/a> and Ottawa<\/a>, Rebecca explored how the prefix \u201cDe\u201d resonates in the two cities. The workshops consisted of discussions, annotation sessions, and the production of clay sculptures.<\/p>\n Rebecca also ran a workshop that explored \u201cworlding\u201d from multiple disciplinary and experiential perspectives. The workshop was part of a larger conference, hosted at the ICI and co-organized by Ming Tiampo and Birgit Hopfener, called Co-Constituting the Global<\/a>. A preliminary \u201cworlding\u201d biography can be downloaded here.<\/p>\n In 2018\/2019, Rebecca continued giving presentations on her research at the ICI and continued running workshops. For example, she co-organized (with ICSLAC faculty member Jerzy El\u017cansowski and Berlin-based architect Carlos Alar\u0107on Allen) and hosted a workshop for 杏吧原创 students, ICI Fellows, and colleagues from Berlin\u2019s Technische Universit\u00e4t that investigated \u201cindeterminate spaces\u201d along Berlin\u2019s U2 subway line.<\/p>\n
