About the Event
Embracing Urban Challenges with Collective Spirit
Berlin's art scene has thrived due to the diversity of its art initiatives, communities and project spaces. However, in recent years the rise of commodification, privatization, and rent speculation have threatened the existence of many of these spaces and groups of people. This symposium aims to explore the impact of these challenges on the independent art scene in Berlin and discuss potential solutions by exploring the importance of connection between communities and project spaces in the face of these challenges.

The Challenges
We will discuss the specific challenges that project spaces in Berlin are facing in the current climate. From rising rents to the loss of community space, this panel will explore how project spaces are being affected by the increasing commodification and privatization of the city. We’ll discuss strategies for preserving these communities in the face of rapid development.
The Necessity of Connection
This discussion will explore why it is essential for project spaces in Berlin to connect with each other. By sharing resources, knowledge, and support, project spaces can create a more robust and resilient network that can better withstand the challenges they face.
Models for Collaboration and Cooperation
During the event we will showcase examples of successful collaboration and cooperation between project spaces. By examining existing models, this panel will identify opportunities for new connections and collaborations that can help project spaces survive and thrive.
Closing Discussion
The closing discussion will bring together the key themes and insights from the three panels. The discussion will explore potential solutions to the challenges facing art communities and project spaces in Berlin and identify opportunities for collaboration and action.
