Conceptual artist Lena von Goedeke, Schaufler Residency@TU Dresden 2024, and literary scholar Svenja Engelmann-Kewitz, TU Dresden, will talk about the significance of the Arctic in the context of the climate crisis and extreme futures at the start of the six-month artistic research fellowship.
At the Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden, Lena von Goedeke will deal with current Arctic research, focusing on the potentials and challenges of various remote sensing technologies. For several years now, von Goedeke has been collecting information and thoughts on the ethical and technological aspects of generating images of the world using satellites.

Svenja Engelmann-Kewitz works in the project "Disrupt! Research" project at the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at TU Dresden on her doctoral project on contemporary literature in the circumpolar North, for which she completed a research stay at the Glacier Lab at the University of Oregon in 2023.

The talk will be moderated by Gwendolin Kremer, curator of the Schaufler Residency@TU Dresden and Research Associate at the Office for Academic Heritage, Scientific and Art Collections at TU Dresden.
