A joint exhibition format, supported by the Zentrum Fokus Forschung, will showcase contributions from research project teams specifically developed for the Angewandte Festival 2021. In the willingness to commit critically to discovery-based exploration lies both the tension and the responsibility of research in art and science. The festival once again offers the opportunity to celebrate this commitment. We offer paths and spaces to immerse oneself in research projects within the framework of Wanderlust.
