About our guests
Gabriele Zipf is the Head of Exhibitions at Futurium, Berlin. She has studied prehistory and anthropology in Munich and Paris and received her PhD from the Freie Universität Berlin. As a curator and project manager she realized the settings of new museums and developed the concepts for several exhibitions during the last 15 years. These projects have presented the challenge of communicating complex and often abstract themes to a broad public. She loves working on multidisciplinary topics and bringing science, the needs of societies, and the hopes of individuals together by breaking the boundaries between classic museums and science centers.
Antja Karoli is part of the exhibition team at Futurium, Berlin and works on preparing content for the exhibition and maintaining contact with different scientists, mostly with focus on the topics digitalization and robotics. She has studied communication, cultural anthropology and media education in Mainz and Passau. Her master thesis focused on the integration of virtual reality technologies in artistic productions and how technology in general can change the way in which we perceive art.
