In the Duisburg interior harbor, traces of urban development since the Middle Ages, remnants of the industrial history of the Ruhr area, postmodern architecture, and local recreation converge into a collaged landscape. The little brother of the large Duisburg inland port hardly shows its function today as Europe's formerly largest transshipment point for grain. In the 1990s, the harbor canal was reshaped as part of the International Building Exhibition Emscherpark and reinvented as a residential and recreational area according to a master plan by architect Sir Norman Foster. With the city archive, the Center for Remembrance Culture, the State Archive NRW, and the Garden of Memories by artist Dani Karavan, there is a high density of institutions dedicated to overarching historical contexts on site. From Duisburg, the exhibition establishes global connections and embarks on exploratory movements into the future.

A production by Urbane Künste Ruhr for the Ruhrtriennale. The contributions from Arhun Aksakal, Marlin de Haan, Paula Pedraza, Franziska Pierwoss & Jonas Leifert, Ramona Schacht & Luca Bublik, Anna R. Winder were developed as part of the program Guest at Urbane Künste Ruhr.
