Gesprächsrunde ›Abschiebung statt Abschluss?‹
Using specific best-practice examples, the series will demonstrate how cross-disciplinary collaboration between the performing arts, visual arts and film/video art creates new avenues of engagement. It presents tried-and-tested strategies for audience development and sustainable community building – with a particular focus on international approaches from Europe as well as local experiences.
The talks are taking place as part of the exhibition ‘Produktive Region. Part 2’.
Curated by Eva Hertzsch, Adam Page and Andrea Plöger (ASH), it presents a conceptual model for a solidarity-based local economy.
You can find the dates of the individual events on September 10 and 11 in our events calendar.
An event series organised by CCCberlin and the Internationale Gesellschaft der Bildenden Künste,
in cooperation with the neuen Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst
and in collaboration with the Performing Arts Programm and the ›Zwischenräume‹ pilot project at the Alice Salomon Hochschule Berlin
