A new exhibition unit at the DASA in Dortmund explores different fields, past and present scenarios, as well as general trends of economic and societal transformation. However, New Working Worlds wants foremost to illustrate that the future and the future of work is not determined and thus can be shaped in the present.
The new unit of the permanent exhibition opens on May 5th, 2018.

The exhibition has been designed in collaboration with zweikant architekturen. The main curator Dr. Gorch Pieken has been assisted by the exhibition agency in charge, kursiv | text – objekt – raum. Graphic design has been developed by 2xGoldstein.
