The exhibition is accompanied by a symposium entitled Terrestrial Assemblage: Ecological Thin-king in Border Zones, where artists and scientists will present their interdisciplinary projects on the environment in border zones. Positions on the symbiotic relationship between nature and borders will be shown and discussed. Examples of this is the European Green Belt, the habitat network along the former Iron Curtain covering more than 12,500 kilometers from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Black Sea in the south, as well as Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on the Ko-rean Peninsula, which has not allowed human access for 70 years. Along the axes of territoria-lity and deterritorialization, artists, curators and scientists will speak on current ecological issues on borderlines from multiple perspectives and create new spaces for thinking. The symposium is made possible by the kind support of the Korean Cultural Center Berlin, the Hanns Seidel Foundation and the Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz Deutschland e.V. (BUND).
