The Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) is one of Berlin’s most established institutions that translates discourses from performative and fine arts, philosophical theory and political activism into a complex agenda of a locally diverse and international programme. Reflections on artistic practices and their functions and media, on technological thinking and forms of community as well as a critical approach to a nonhomogeneous understanding of the world characterise the profile of the HKW.
