To mark the start of the semester, the MOTH team gathered to reflect on materiality through hands-on work with a ceramic object. Guided by Noa Ranzer, we explored how different practices shape the way we see, inquire, and understand traces of the past and their transformations. #TheoryOfHistory

Am Ende des Tages, in 2026, wir sind geöffnet - das sind Übernahmen aus dem Englischen. Doch warum klingt „Wir sind geöffnet“ so seltsam? Mit dem Subjekt assoziiert man im Deutschen meist handelnde Personen (hier: wir). Und diese sind nicht geöffnet, sie haben geöffnet.
