With heat at its peak and some more summer weeks ahead, here is our top 5 list for
August/September.
12th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art
With its highly political stance the Biennale creates a space for dialogue to approach the urgent matters of our times. Led by this edition’s curator, the french artist Kader Attia, the Biennale will have the notion of Decolonization at its core. The ways in which colonialism and imperialism still play a major role in our world are showcased in a diverse programm. Our recommendations: Provocative tours such as “Bodies of Racialization” (09.03 & 09.10) and “The Self and the Other – Culture on Bodies, Places, and Times” (08.17- 08.24 – 08.31 – 09.07)
Tresor 31: Techno, Berlin und die große Freiheit
Almost a place of cult for Berlin techno, this summer the club Tresor is celebrating more than three decades of existence. With an immersive exhibition in the former industrial complex Kraftwerk you will deep dive into the context that gave birth to techno music. With help of a “spatialised headphone audio-system” you will take a trip through the evolution of sounds that evolved into a cultural, artistic and social movement entangled with the recent history of Berlin. The exhibition runs until 08.25. Will there be party? Yes there will! A series of concerts will enrich the program until 08.28
Open Air Kino in Skate Yard
With locations all over Berlin, Open Air Cinemas are a classic summertime activity. Open Air Cinemas are a lot more than just the film, the locations and settings are key to creating a memorable night. Would you like to give it a small twist? In the hearth of the R.A.W gelände the walls and ramps of the Skate Hall Berlin turn every monday into a chill Open Air Cinema.
