Taking part in the base project “Anthropocene Kitchen” at the Cluster of Excellence “Image, Knowledge, Gestaltung” at Berlin’s Humboldt University, Stephan Barthel’s focus lies in spatial urban development generated by the processes of human nutrition. As a geographer and research assistant at the Bauhaus University in Weimar, he focused on urban disparity and conflicts, and on vulnerability and risk research, especially on the different mechanisms of displacement in Latin America’s megacities. Currently, he is working on a Master’s degree in geoinformation and visualization at the University of Potsdam, with the aim of visualizing the interdependency of building structures and the socio-spatial organization of urban societies, as well as urban mining.
