Un/gleich/zeitig: Solidarities – Civil Society Initiatives and the Independent Performing Arts Community

Already in June of this year, the Berlin Performing Arts Program sought out discourse with civil society initiatives who have actively engaged themselves against rightwing extremism and for a plural and democratic society. An important exchange with members of the independent performing arts community took place which will now be continued within this conference.

Representatives of important structures as well as politically and socially engaged artists from Berlin and Brandenburg will share their most difficult tasks and discuss them with attendees of the conference. In doing so, they will issue an invitation to reflect together upon what a closer collaboration between culture and civil society could look like and which strategies could be developed against growing rightwing extremism.

In German spoken language and potentially multilingual.

With Anna Stiede (performance artist, political scientist), Klaas Müller (Verfassungsblog gGmbH, Gegen RechtsSchutz), Franziska Görlitz (Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte, Gegen RechtsSchutz) and Julia Leser (Netzwork Halt!ung)

Moderation: För Künkel (scenographer, costume designer )

För Kunkel works as a scenographer and costume designer and conducts research on the performing arts in archives. She is politically engaged in a variety of artistic and civic society initiatives.
