The conference features two keynote lectures: Neil MacGregor, the Director of the British Museum in London, will open the conference on Wednesday evening in the Alte Aula with a lecture on "Trajectories of meaning. The shifting power of things.". On Thursday evening Ian Hodder, a renowned professor of archaeology from Stanford University, will speak about "From materiality to entanglement" in the Karl Jaspers Centre.
