It was wonderful to see our consortium, advisory board members, participants, and guests all coming together. The cozy and friendly atmosphere in the rooms added an extra layer of warmth to the occasion. Having our conference at the Warburg Haus was a real honor. The historical significance of this venue and its alignment with our mission added a profound dimension to the event. Much like Aby Warburg, the “social scientist of images,” we share the commitment to capturing, preserving, and conveying knowledge and collective memory to enhance our understanding of society – its past, present, and the interplay between the two.
