KEY VISUAL Futurium: Themenjahr Rohstoffe
Annual Theme: Raw Materials
Raw materials determine human life. Our entire existence is based on them: people build their houses with them, power cars and machines with their energy, bake their bread with them, and use them for smartphones and computers. A world without raw materials? Not imaginable.
But humanity is facing major challenges: the need for raw materials is constantly increasing, mining damages nature and the environment, and many people suffer from mining and the unequal distribution of raw materials. And in the future?
In the exhibition, the audience can explore how raw materials can be extracted, distributed and used responsibly and fairly.
How much do people have to and want to consume in the future? What materials should everyone rely on? And how can raw materials be reused?
The first answers to these pressing questions about the future already exist.
In the exhibition, the audience learns how raw materials can be mined in a more environmentally friendly way, why the circular economy is sustainable and what urban mining is all about.
In the lab, the materials of the future can be viewed very closely under the microscope.
In the forum you can discuss raw material policy and justice with experts.
Be there, share your ideas and get inspired!
