Clara Weinhardt launches online gallery “Faces of Trade Diplomacy”
Clara Weinhardt launched this online gallery “Faces of Trade Diplomacy” that builds on her DFG-funded research on WTO politics.
While trade is perceived as highly technical, the exhibition wishes to reveal the more human elements of trade negotiations.
By bringing personal stories, memories and hopes of trade diplomats to an audience, it seeks to build a connection between those that negotiate global trading rules and the more general public.
