Welcome to HMKV's blog.
This blog currently documents a research trip to twelve former Soviet Republics for a new regional project of the Goethe-Institut (2015-17). Earlier entries document the "Afro-Tech and the Future of (Re-)Invention" research trip to Kenya, South Africa and Nigeria (10-25 April 2014, Anne Bergner and Inke Arns), and the INDUSTRIAL on Tour trip to five industrial cities in Poland (27 Sep - 9 Oct 2011, Thibaut de Ruyter, Inke Arns et al.)
HMKV's new research project Afro-Tech kicks off
Afro-Tech and the Future of (Re-)Invention is a research project which looks at the use, the adaptation and (re-)invention of (new) technologies in Kenya, South Africa and Nigeria. Today we applied for a visa at the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in Berlin. Our trip will take us to three African countries: Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa (10 - 25 April 2014).
