Event series

The Humboldt Forum aims to be a platform for curious minds, from both our urban society and guests from further afield. Once a month, Counterquestions brings together people with a wide variety of experiences and standpoints for moderated exchange and debate. This discussion series addresses current challenges and events in culture, politics and society, and brings a variety of perspectives to the fore.


Counterquestions presents surprising interactions and connections between the sciences and the arts, the Earth and the cosmos, culture and nature, nation and the individual. As an open platform, it seeks to encourage a diversity of viewpoints to create approaches for addressing the challenges of our time. A variety of interaction, participation and broadcasting formats will constitute part of the experiment. Join the discussion – digitally or live on site.

Key questions and discussion participants will be announced on short notice.

This series is curated by Melinda Crane, Geraldine de Bastion and Stefan Richter.
