Co2libri – conceptual collaboration – living borderless research interaction
The project aims to make knowledge, theories, and research practices from the "Global South" visible within Berlin's research landscape. Scholars and intellectuals from marginalized regions or from ethnic or religious minorities often remain invisible in academic discourse. The project participants—a global network of researchers, artists, and activists—seek to engage with knowledge and theoretical contributions from the "Global South." Their goal is to create a more globally equitable approach to how knowledge is produced and what is recognized as knowledge. The project is led by Prof. Dr. Kai Kresse of Freie Universität Berlin and the Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient, and Prof. Dr. Claudia Derichs of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. It collaborates with international partners in cities including Nairobi, Beirut, Delhi, and Vienna.
