16.4.-26.4.2026
The Currency Lab - Law & Order

Venue: GEH8, Gehestr.8, Dresden

In a time in which social orders are undergoing noticeable changes worldwide, The Currency Lab - Law & Order asks fundamental questions: What ideas of law and order characterise our present? What historical continuities continue to have an impact - from existing power relations and social structures to global dependencies? And how can these developments be countered with alternative, solidary and forward-looking practices?
