Käte Hamburger Centre CURE

The Käte Hamburger Centre for Cultural Practices of Reparation (CURE) at Saarland University studies the ways in which cultural practices can help confront the lasting impact of irreversible harm by reshaping them towards a shared future. Whether focusing on the destruction of cultural heritage in colonised regions, the trauma of war, or the effects of climate change, scholars at the centre work with international fellows and artists-in-residence to understand practices and processes of repair and reparation. Developing theories of cultural reparation across boundaries of culture and media, the centre seeks to articulate sociopolitical perspectives that have become crucial amidst today's global crises, helping to build a future in which we and others can live together.
