Römische Horizonte – Orizzonti romani
Video-Podcast, episode six, ca. 25 min.

Welcome to "Römische Horizonte - Orizzonti romani", a video podcast series about new music for everyone who’s interested and curious about music. German-Italian soundscapes are presented in collaboration with the Ensemble Horizonte of Detmold.

Contemporary music compositions are always individual and show great stylistic variety. Each piece is, so to speak, its own cosmos in which the listener becomes immersed.
The podcast opens up access to each piece before it is performed by the ensemble, and explains the peculiarities of the playing and compositional style, as well as the context in which the piece was created.

MedAtlantic. Perspectives on the Past
Genuese Merchant Networks

Documentary film, 20 min.
Based on a research project on the Genoese Merchant Networks in Africa and across the Atlantic Ocean, as part of the international project of the Max Weber Foundation Knowledge Unbound. The period from ca. 1450–1530 is investigated through archival studies. And with it, the trade of enslaved persons, which already began in the Atlantic region in the first decades of the 16th century, comes into view. The film journey through the Mediterranean region and the Atlantic presents new perspectives and assessments on this research topic.
