InEvidence: Witnessing Cities and the Case of Berlin

This major international conference focuses on the contemporary city as a witness to changing political topographies and socio-economic transformations, which is in turn witnessed by a multitude of cultural undertakings.

The conference brings together top scholars working on the city from a variety of disciplines and practitioners working with and in urban environments through a variety of media. It will take place at the University of Cambridge and in cooperation with the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH).

Organised by members of the Departments of German & Dutch and Architecture at Cambridge, it is conceived as a forum for academics, artists and practitioners from different disciplinary backgrounds: architecture and urban studies, cultural history and geography, media theory and visual arts, literature, political sciences and sociology.
