Insoluble Family Problems?

Exploring Family Dynamics: An Introduction to Constellation Exercises (limited number of participants)

Theresa Adam (Qualified psychologist and alternative practitioner specialising in psychotherapy, Berlin)

This workshop offers a foundational introduction to the origins, history, and core principles of family constellation work. Participants will gain first-hand insight into the mechanics of a constellation and explore its potential for personal support through practical, paired exercises.

In this specific approach, family constellation is presented primarily as a somatic and intuitive experience rather than a purely cognitive or structured one. That said, the practice inherently bridges both dimensions; exactly how these levels intersect will be explored and discussed throughout the session.

The workshop will be held in German.

The workshop is free of charge; a ticket is required and can be booked on the Humboldt Forum website. 

Organiser:

Prof Dr Daniel Tyradellis (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin)

Dr Alia Rayyan (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin)

Dr Laura Goldenbaum (Humboldt Forum Foundation in the Berlin Palace)

Place and time:

3. June 2026,

6 to 8 pm

in Room 3 (Saal 3), ground floor,
Humboldt Forum, Schlossplatz.

Lecture series “Beziehungsweise Familie” (Family Matters) – May 20, 2026 with Jürgen Dinkel

Prof. Dr. Jürgen Dinkel (University of Leipzig)

Societies of the 20th and 21st centuries are, at their core, societies of inheritance and family. An individual’s prospects of wealth and social status have been, and remain, heavily dependent on their familial background. A central factor in this was the deeply rooted conviction among the population that property should primarily be passed on to the next generation within the family. Consequently, the transfer of assets always raised the question of who actually belonged to the family and on what basis these individuals’ inheritance rights were established.

In his lecture, Jürgen Dinkel traces the history of inheritance in the transatlantic space since approximately 1800. He demonstrates how governments, families, and individuals repeatedly negotiated the transfer and distribution of estates, thereby also renegotiating their understanding of family and specific familial constellations. Ultimately, instances of inheritance represented moments that generated, updated, or even challenged the social fabric of the family.

The lecture will be held in German.

Participation is possible without pre-registration and is open to all interested parties.

Cultural practices of silence as modes of care

Dr. Lotte Warnsholdt

The lecture draws on 20th-century literature to examine various cultural techniques of silence and analyzes them with regard to their forms of (self-)care. Self-determined, sovereign silence preserves secrets and provides protected spaces for the development of new attitudes. However, not every silence is self-determined, not every silence sovereign. Alongside sovereign silence, there are forms of silence that signify self-denial or a breakdown of communication. For example, the author Audre Lorde writes of the desire to see one’s own fear in proper proportion and to be able to translate silence into language. Lorde does not speak of a life without fear, but rather of a relationship to fear that depends on the ways in which one practices silence. It would mean not allowing silence to turn into tyranny or catastrophe, but instead finding a measure between speaking and remaining silent—one in which silence can also function as a “mode of resistance to power” (Wendy Brown, 2005).

The lecture will be held in German.

Participation is possible without pre-registration and is open to all interested parties.

Singles under pressure – “solo weddings” as the secret to happiness in Japan

Prof. Dr. Annette Schad-Seifert (Professor of Modern Japanese Studies at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf)

Lifelong singlehood is a social experience that affects more and more people in Japan.

In recent years, so-called solo weddings have attracted media and academic attention in Japan. These are staged wedding ceremonies in which single women without partners hold a wedding with professional clothing, photography, and ritual elements. The lecture examines solo weddings as a cultural phenomenon at the intersection of the individual search for happiness, consumer culture, and changing marriage and gender norms in Japanese society.

Solo weddings are just one phenomenon among a variety of solo activities in Japan’s consumer culture that have emerged in recent years. The lecture explores how these activities can be classified in a society that traditionally places a high priority on the group.

Based on quantitative data, media analyses, and case studies, it shows that solo weddings should be understood less as an expression of social isolation and more as an ambivalent practice of self-affirmation in a society in which traditional family norms are increasingly disappearing.

The lecture will be held in German.

Participation is possible without pre-registration and is open to all interested parties.

Having and Keeping Secrets 

Dr. Michael Slepian (Associate Professor at Columbia Business School)

Common wisdom suggests that secrecy harms relationships and well being because active concealment is hard and stressful work. Multiple studies of thousands of participants keeping tens of thousands of secrets reveals otherwise. The problem with having secrets is often not that we have to hide them, but rather that we have to think about them, and live with them alone in our thoughts without others’ help and perspectives. Whereas instances of concealment can be construed as effective goal pursuit (i.e., successful secret keeping), having secrets intrude upon one’s thoughts is taken as a signal of relational and personal problems, including reduced relationship quality and reduced authenticity. At the same time, secrets can improve well-being, when managed well and kept for the right reasons. Secrets kept on behalf of collectives can foster feelings meaning, confiding secrets in others and being confided in can bring feelings of closeness and intimacy, and keeping positive secrets can enhance feelings of autonomy and vitality. The multifaceted nature of secrets will be discussed, including how to cope effectively, and how to thrive while carrying them.

The lecture will be held in English.

Participation is possible without pre-registration and is open to all interested parties.

Lecture series “Family Matters”: Further Dates during Winter Semester

Focus Family Secrets

The focus Family Secrets turns its attention to hidden dimensions of family relationships, where intimacy, protection, and conflict intersect. At the centre are practices of concealment and disclosure that shape individual life stories as well as social orders.

Secrets are more than concealed information: they condense needs for protection and intimacy, as well as feelings of shame, fear of exposure, and the pressure of social norms. As part of biographical experience, family secrets deeply affect personal life narratives. Practices of telling and withholding make visible how relationships are formed, boundaries drawn, and social orders negotiated — revealing how secrets extend far beyond the private sphere to create belonging, mark boundaries, and stabilise or unsettle social structures.

Geheimnisse sind dabei mehr als verborgene Informationen: In ihnen verdichten sich Bedürfnisse nach Schutz und Intimität ebenso wie Scham, Angst vor Bloßstellung oder der Druck sozialer Normen. Als Teil biografischer Erfahrungen wirken Familiengeheimnisse tief in persönliche Lebensgeschichten hinein. Erzählen und Verschweigen machen sichtbar, wie Beziehungen gestaltet, Grenzen gezogen und soziale Ordnungen verhandelt werden – und wie Geheimnisse weit über das Private hinaus Zugehörigkeiten stiften, Grenzen markieren und gesellschaftliche Strukturen stabilisieren oder irritieren.

Exhibition opening: “Family Matters” at the Humboldt Forum

Family Matters

Father, mother, child? Surprising perspectives on the traditional family model in the past and present.

Family: (Nearly) everyone has a family, and yet every family is different! But what’s the stitching that keeps families together? And who’s really responsible for spinning it? In a year-long programme, the Humboldt Forum is exploring the stuff that family ties are made of. Are they full of holes or tightly woven; do they hang on a thread, or are they patchwork or perhaps macramé?

It is all about networks of relationships – from artistic, historical, scientific, and international perspectives, and in dialogue with the people of Berlin.

Explore what and who family and family relations can encompass, and the broad variety of ways in which living together is experienced. Everyone involved with the project at the Humboldt Forum is collectively looking at the theme of family relations in the present, past, and future, in a variety of formats including exhibitions, performances, discussions, workshops, guided tours, and interventions throughout the museum.

Exhibitions and Interventions

A special feature of this exhibition is that it takes in all the galleries and collections at the Humboldt Forum. The theme is introduced by ten hubs – some of which are interactive – in the Family Matters area on the ground floor, ranging from personal family constellations to a VR community around the table and individual stories about pet names, taking us from global family history, conflicts, and compromises to very personal watershed moments. Here you can question and expand your own ideas about and understanding of what family is!

More than forty selected objects from the Ethnologisches Museum (Ethnological Museum) and the Museum für Asiatische Kunst (Asian Art Museum), from Berlin’s historical royal palace, the Humboldt Labor, and BERLIN GLOBAL, along with Museum Knoblauchhaus, will become a part of this year-long programme, showing how power relations intervene in family biographies. And also how personal family narratives can originate larger stories of power or even religions.

Temporary exhibitions look at the preservation of endangered languages from all over the world and the transgenerational dissemination of knowledge. We also present contemporary positions by international artists, exploring the family realities of queer and migrant experience.

Events

Numerous events for adults and children offer new perspectives on the theme of family. This year’s Transkontinentale festival will bring family stories from Africa, South America, and Asia to Berlin, as well as the European premiere of the Namibian German music theatre People of Song. Things are going to get particularly lively at the end of October, when the Dia de Muertos celebration of family will be held for the second time at the Humboldt Forum. This is something to look forward to, but please note that there is also a full events programme on the opening days of the exhibition, with our first themed days in October.

Care or Chaos? Themed Days, 3–5 October

On three consecutive themed days immediately after the exhibition opens, the Humboldt Forum will focus on care, nursing, and family relations. Small gestures, each with a big effect – artistic interventions, performances, readings, and conversations will facilitate a rethinking of family: in the workshop “In the Dreamhouse,” in dance interventions in the permanent exhibition, in a kitchen buffet with medicinal flowers, and with African Street Games for the whole family. The days will feature author and musician Christiane Rösinger, the Resident Music Collective, feminist author Sophie Lewis, and a showing of the film In Prinzip Familie by director Daniel Abma, and much more.

In the museum’s workshops there will be hands-on drop-ins where participants can test out and make their own creations, while the Picture Book Cinema will present fascinating stories on the big screen, read by well-known personalities with musical accompaniment.

Two further themed days are planned for 2026: “Family Secrets” and “Together Against Resistance: Alternative Forms of Living with Each Other.”

The exhibition opens on October 2nd at 6 p.m. – free admission.

On May 14, 2025 at 18:00 we invite you to the next date of the lecture series "Beziehungsweise Familie" (Family Matters):

The Creativity of Kinship
Prof. Dr. Janet Carsten (School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh)

This lecture questions conventional understandings of the family by reflecting on the imaginative, ethical, and creative qualities of everyday kinship over time – qualities that are often ignored by social scientists. Rather than constituting a realm of conservatism and normativity, as is generally assumed, I instead propose a historically nuanced understanding of kinship and relatedness that has change and transformation at its core. Here I revisit themes from my work over several decades, including research in a Malay village in the early 1980s, a study of adoptees’ searches for birth kin in Scotland, later urban research in hospital blood banks and clinical pathology labs in Penang and, most recently, work on the texture of marital lives in the ethnically and culturally diverse world of contemporary Penang in Malaysia. I consider the ways in which ethical imagination, care and creativity expand the seemingly closed, conventional bounds of kinship. Searches for birth kin undertaken by adoptees expand their horizons of familial relations, demanding ethical reflection about family relations and about the constitution of the self. Marriage draws new elements into the heart of kinship, and is a source of change and renewal under the persuasive guise of continuity and convention. It requires a constant process of adjustment and accommodation – or refusal of accommodation – to a spouse and their relatives. Selectively and cumulatively, intimate familial processes of ethical imagination constitute and enable political transformation. These processes, I argue, are at the heart of the generativity and creativity of kinship, and its contribution to historical and political change.

The lecture will be held in English.

Participation is possible without pre-registration and is open to all interested parties.

Family and other forms of cohabitation in urban India
Prof. Dr. Nadja-Christina Schneider (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Institut für Asien- und Afrikawissenschaften)

Nadja-Christina Schneider’s presentation will examine the extent to which housing planning in India has changed in recent decades to accommodate new social and demographic developments. Although the trend, especially in larger cities, is clearly moving towards housing forms for smaller family units, multi-generational households continue to exist. A rapidly growing market has also emerged for age-appropriate housing and care facilities. Households and communal living are still closely associated with the ‘family living model’, particularly from a state perspective. Does this in turn offer room for alternative forms of family and kinship alongside heteronormative extended and nuclear families? And conversely, how accepted are individual or communal forms of living that deliberately do not define themselves in terms of family or kinship? The lecture will take a closer look at these questions using selected examples.

The lecture will be held in German.

Participation is possible without pre-registration and is open to all interested parties.
