Reconfiguring Cultural Inquiry: 10 Years ICI Berlin

The ICI Berlin is celebrating its first decade: Since its founding in 2006 and with the help of nine ‘generations’ of altogether more than one hundred fellows, the Institute has pursued a series of interlocking, transdisciplinary research projects that have sought to disclose original aspects of ‘cultural inquiry’, not only unsettling and challenging hegemonic cultural formations, but also continually questioning and refocusing its own investigations.

This sequence of ICI core projects has inspired an extraordinary spread of individual and collaborative ventures, many of which have turned into ICI events and publications but are quite impossible to represent or recall in a three-day conference. The anniversary celebration will instead present a unique and necessarily limited constellation of diverse topics characteristic of the Institute’s interventions: Each of these themes, questions, and obsessions can be said to have played a decisive role at several junctures of the Institute’s history and represent a new point of departure.

The programme is parsed into nine different panels of varying formats, from lecture sequence to panel discussion. Each panel stages an encounter between ICI members, alumni, and friends who have not yet had the chance to engage with one another directly. These ‘fresh’ configurations are designed to prompt discussions that will create multiple trajectories for the three conference days and the ongoing work of the ICI Berlin.
