How did we succeed to make dizziness a sort of commonplace?

Gravity lends weight to all objects and causes the tides, but it can also be used to connote seriousness and depth, or a metaphorical weight or tide. If gravity is another word for seriousness, lightness connotes levity, humour and flippancy.
This working symposium aims to discuss ways of localizing, recognizing, approaching, and countering dizziness on different scales and disciplines – from the somatic to the built environment to interspecies and post-colonial contexts.
“Dizzy Dress” is a colourful silk dress featuring anatomical illustrations of the inner ear and findings from our research on dizziness.
The FORUM 20:17 wants to bring up the social and cultural change of the global societies and the associated need for orientation of young people in the new form of a future laboratory as well as the associated need for shaping open and associative youth work.
