At this year's Long Night of the Sciences, THESys Doctoral Researcher Marvin Heine invites you to share stories about the topic of fire.
Fire talk: Sharing stories around the fire place
28 June 2025, installtion all night long ׀ talks 19.00-19.45 & 21.30-22.15
HU Berlin, main building, Unter den Linden 6, EhrenhofHave you ever noticed that universities have departments for hydrology and geology, but none for “pyrology”? Yet fire is essential to our cultural history and many ecosystems. During the Long Night of Sciences, we – an artist (Lisa Hoffmann, UdK), a geographer (Dr. Isabelle Desportes, Centre Marc Bloch) and an environmental sociologist (Marvin Heine, HU) – therefore set up a symbolic fireplace. Around our installation, we would like to share stories, texts and images from our artistic and scientific work as well as from your everyday life.
The event can be held in German and English.
