documenta Institute Discourse is a series of public events that, since the fall of 2017, invites international speakers to consider themes of archiving, research, and mediation. It allows for the articulation of new and unexpected functions, forms of action, strategies, and imaginings for archives, research institutions, and mediation institutions. documenta Institute Discourse is a collaboration between the documenta archiv and the documenta professorship at the Kunsthochschule Kassel (School of Art and Design Kassel).
