About The Speaker
Dr. Uta Kolano
Uta Kolano, a graduate philosopher, worked for a long time as a freelance television journalist and filmmaker. She worked in the documentary field, in both writing and directing, which included selecting music and sounds for her films. In 2011, she moved from media making to media thinking and, until 2018, worked as a lecturer in the Media and Communication Sciences department at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in Halle (Saale). Naturally, film music also played an important role here, whether in analysis for media history seminars or in the students’ practical projects. After a moving and enriching interlude as Head of the Thuringia Sustainability Center, Uta Kolano now works as Project Manager “Outreach Wunderkammer Friedenstein” in Gotha – where music, especially Baroque, will certainly be a design element.
