Exhibition "Hidden Barriers"

Sometimes barriers are hidden in the detail and sometimes in the solution.

What do barriers feel like?
Can you see barriers?
Can you hear barriers?
Can you taste barriers?
Can you smell barriers?

Take a closer look with us and discover barriers.
Marvel and discuss what barriers are and how they are created and find out why it is important to discover them and why it is better to get rid of them quickly.

In the BMBF-funded DEINORT project at Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts, these barrier stories were first collected and then transformed into exhibitable objects and tangible spaces and exhibits. In the project's real laboratory, the Hidden Gallery is transformed into a place of hidden and found barriers. The interactive exhibition will be accompanied by experts on barriers and cooperation partners of the project.
