<p>Andrea Geyer&rsquo;s&nbsp;<em>Manifesto (Banners / Gropius Bau / Berlin)</em>&nbsp;places the voices of the visitors at the centre. The installation will be on display in the atrium and at the entrance to the Gropius Bau from July 2024, exploring the question of what museums and exhibition spaces can offer as public places in Berlin&rsquo;s current social and political landscape. The banners embroidered with text address the impermeability of institutions and allow these voices to repeatedly form a collective space.</p>

Ein Kunstparcours am Gropius Bau

<p>Berlin is known for its numerous &ldquo;Spielpl&auml;tze&rdquo; for kids, but the project <em>Radical Playgrounds</em>, which is commissioned by Berliner Festspiele, is a place where play gets serious. Since 27 April 2024 it arrives at Gropius Hain for eleven weeks like an itinerant, temporary funfair: both melancholic and light-hearted, sad and joyful, funny and serious.</p>

<p>The massacre, hostage-taking and rocket attacks by Hamas have shaken us deeply. The grue-some attack on Israel on 7&nbsp;October left us stunned and initially lost for words.</p>

<p>With this letter of intent, we, the signing cultural organizations, express our intention to welcome, host and stage Ukrainian theatre artists in our venues, to make Ukrainian dramatic work visible to the European community.</p>

<h3>&ldquo;Kill your Darlings! Streets of Berladelphia&rdquo;</h3>

<h4>By Ren&eacute; Pollesch</h4>

Streets of Berladelphia for unforgettable moments at the Theatertreffen, for which we are deeply grateful. Ren&eacute; Pollesch died suddenly and unexpectedly on 26 February at the age of 61.

<h3>Nancy Holt:&nbsp;Circles of Light</h3>

<h4>22 March to 21 July 2024</h4>

<p>Over the course of five decades, Nancy Holt explored how we perceive our environment and how we attempt to understand our place on the surface of this planet. From March 2024, the Gropius Bau presents <em>Circles of Light</em>, the artist&rsquo;s most comprehensive survey exhibition in Germany to date. It includes film, video, photography, sound works, concrete poetry, sculptures and expansive installations as well as drawings and documentation from over 25 years.</p>


<h3>Pallavi Paul: How Love Moves</h3>

<h4>22 March to 21 July 2024</h4>

<p>With <em>How Love Moves</em>, the Gropius Bau presents the first major institutional solo exhibition of Pallavi Paul. As an artist and film scholar, Paul engages the camera as her primary tool to interrogate how regimes of &ldquo;truth&rdquo; are produced and sustained in public life. Through her multimedia practice spanning film, installation, performance, drawing, photography and writing, she negotiates the documentary not only conjured as film or image &ndash; but as an ecology of materials, networks, global alliances and systems<span><span>.</span></span></p>
