(In)visible Religion: Politics of Religious Diversity in Urban Space

Modern cities are religiously diverse. Temples, houses of prayer, churches, mosques and other places of faith stand side by side. When does a religion make an appearance? Whose religion remains invisible? When do the gods get a house? What role does the colonial heritage of the cities play? Hansjörg Dilger is professor of social and cultural anthropology at the Freie Universität Berlin and he leads a research project on this topic in the collaborative research centre "Affective Societies" at the Freie Universität Berlin. In conversation with Cilja Harders, he explores the tense interplay of visibility and invisibility in cosmopolitan cities like Berlin or Dar es Salam.
