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.)



Novosibirsk: From Soviet troups to Soviet stairs (sorry, this witty wordplay works only in German) / Nowosibirsk: Von sowjetischen Truppen zu sowjetischen Treppen

DE Die Treppen treiben uns in den Wahnsinn (nicht nur in Nowosibirsk): Keine Stufe ist so hoch wie die andere. Haben wir deshalb seit zwei Wochen so einen Muskelkater??
