The second workshop of the project global prayers • redemption and liberation in the city took place at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin from July 11-17, 2010. The workshop gathered, for the first time, grantholders, associated researchers, artists and cooperation partners of global prayers. The main objective of this non-public workshop was to discuss the overall research questions, approaches, methods and forms of cooperation of the project. The core of the event was the presentation and discussion of the research proposals of the grantholders as well as of the artist projects. Some further lectures and comments on methodology framed the workshop, as well as time and space for working groups, networking and informal talks between participants and the project management.
