Künstler*innenhaus Mousonturm

Migration researcher Natalie Bayer is director of the FHXB Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg Museum since 2018. Natalie Bayer defines the museum as a place for people to assemble and deal with what affects society. As museum director, she is particularly interested in the ways in which urban migrant society is developing and the issues being negotiated by inhabitants among themselves. To this aim, she continuously works on developing new methods and formats to promote the development of museums as antiracist and anti-discriminating places. In 2017, she co-edited the collection of essays Kuratieren als antirassistische Praxis. Kritiken, Praxen, Aneignungen (Curating as an Anti-Racist Practice. Critics, Practices, Appropriations, De Gruyter Verlag)

At im*possible bodies #2, Natalie Bayer will speak about her museum’s new goals and present examples of best practice.
