How Things Connect People: Project C05 Hosts Workshop in Namibia

Project C05 Framing Futures investigates how concepts of age and generation shape temporal frames of reference in future-making and compare temporal frames of reference used by different CRC-TRR projects. Researchers in this subproject look at how individual actors and social groups position themselves with respect to concepts of generation, and how intergenerational relationships affect planning for the future, and how the future is imagined from different generational positions.

The Project recently organized and hosted a workshop in Tsumeb, Namibia dedicated to the question of how things – hunting items, domestic items, ornamental items and musical instruments -connect people.
