I’ve officially started my PhD as part of the »Networked through Sound project«! My first research trip with @jprior.bsky.social and @sandrajasper.bsky.social to London was the perfect beginning. I’ve written a short blog post about it: www.geographie.nat.fau.de/first-resear...

A poster for the experimental archives conference 2025. Above a line drawing of an open suitcase that lies empty, text reads: "Experimental Archives conference 2025, Kingston School of Art, Kingston University, Courtyard Theatre, The Town House, 11th-12th September 2025, exploring archives as spaces of transformation, fragmentation, imagination, and experimentation across disciplines".
