Reach Out - Nothing fits forever

REACH OUT
NOTHING FITS FOREVER
Evolution, Art and the Stories We Live By

How do patriarchal narratives shape our understanding of evolution, nature, and coexistence? What ideas of adaptation, competition, cooperation, and change determine how we observe and describe the world, and how we ‘produce’ knowledge about it?

Under the title NOTHING FITS FOREVER – Evolution, Art and the Stories We Live By, Eva Meyer-Keller brings together women artists and scientists from evolutionary anthropology, biology, the history of science, performance, comics, and visual storytelling as part of her exchange format REACH OUT. This time, the starting point was the question of how, from a feminist-inspired perspective, we might collectively shake up the images and narratives surrounding evolutionary processes of becoming and having become – narratives that have haunted our cultural memory since long before Darwin.

While REACH OUT remains informal at its core, bringing different perspectives, methods, and experiences into a shared space for thinking and experimentation through tinkering, testing, observing, and discussing, this space opens up to the public on Sunday afternoon. Rather than a conventional audience discussion, thoughts, materials, images, and experiences from REACH OUT encounter one another, overlap, contaminate, and intertwine, exploring contradictions and perhaps also new connections between artistic and scientific research.

On Sunday, 15 November 2026, from 3 to 4:30 pm, REACH OUT opens its doors to the public at Heizhaus / Uferstudios (Uferstraße 23, 13357 Berlin), inviting visitors to join a shared space for thinking and experimentation.
