How has smell been industrialized and with what economic effects? To what extent is the management of smell related to the governance of space? Is the honeybee a product of contemporary industrial factory farming?<\/span>\r\n\r\nHumans, as well as animals and plants use odors to communicate, to recognize, to evaluate. Odors profoundly affect our social life by triggering emotions, forming memories and allowing us to bond with others. The loss of the sense of smell, on the other hand, often means alienation and isolation from our environment. At the same time, smell has been industrialized, with profound effects on food, bodies and cities.\r\n\r\nThis event examines how smell, politics and economics are interrelated. Together with artists, biologists, and geographers, we will follow the smellscapes of the city of Stuttgart and discover new perspectives on the politics of metabolism and the senses.\r\n\r\nWith Freia Achenbach &amp; June F\u00e0bregas (anima ona), Tini Aliman, Maan Barua, Uli Beisel, Giovanni Galizia, Matthew Gandy, Felix Heidenreich, Jos\u00e9 Morb\u00e1n, Piloya Irene, Hannah Liya &amp; Sophia Sad\u017eakov, Angelo Neira, Silke Sachse, Marie Skeie, Kirsten Traynor, Tamarind Rossetti &amp; Stephen Wright."},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_program","_acfe_flexible_layout_title":null,"program_title":"","program_el":[{"bgcolor":"has-bg-custom","bgcolor_custom":"rgb(255,125,54)","program_el_content_collapsible":true,"program_el_content_collapsible_init_state":false,"program_el_content_headline":"PROGRAM: Friday, April 17 2026","program_el_content":[{"program_el_content_left":"6 PM \r\nAkademie Schloss Solitude","program_el_content_right":"Welcome &amp; Introduction","program_el_content_img":null},{"program_el_content_left":"6:30 PM\r\nAkademie Schloss Solitude","program_el_content_right":"<em>Beyond the Waggle Dance: How Honey Bees Communicate<\/em>\r\n\r\nKeynote by Kirsten Traynor","program_el_content_img":null},{"program_el_content_left":"7:15 PM \r\nAkademie Schloss Solitude","program_el_content_right":"Panel Conversatio\r\n\r\nWith Kirsten Traynor, Giovanni Galizia &amp; Silke Sachse","program_el_content_img":null},{"program_el_content_left":"8 PM \r\nAkademie Schloss Solitude","program_el_content_right":"<em>Solitude Signals: Biodata and Sonic Memory<\/em>\r\n\r\nSound performance by Tini Aliman","program_el_content_img":null},{"program_el_content_left":"Afterwards \r\nAkademie Schloss Solitude","program_el_content_right":"Snacks and Drinks","program_el_content_img":null}]},{"bgcolor":"has-bg-lila","bgcolor_custom":"rgba(193,11,145,0.7)","program_el_content_collapsible":true,"program_el_content_collapsible_init_state":false,"program_el_content_headline":"PROGRAM: Saturday, April 18 2026","program_el_content":[{"program_el_content_left":"10 AM \r\nHohenheimer G\u00e4rten","program_el_content_right":"<em>MUTED SCENT<\/em>\r\n\r\nA sensory investigation of the Hohenheim Gardens with Piloya Irene\r\n<p class=\"is-size-6\">Places are limited.
