It’s the end of the world (as we know it)

Available since 26 October 2020

In the third and final session of its series for Jazzfest Berlin Off Stage, the KIM Collective will remix the worldwide lockdown music chart into a soundtrack to the crisis that is both musically and electronically distorted, one that finds a fitting stage amid the dust sheets and renovations works in the Festspielhaus auditorium.

Otobong Nkanga: There’s No Such Thing as Solid Ground

Until 13 December 2020

Otobong Nkanga’s interest lies in the complex relationship between humans and land. In her works, she explores this relationship within the tension between exploitative extraction processes and structures of care and repair. Following her one-year stay as In House: Artist in Residence 2019 at the Gropius Bau, a solo exhibition will offer insights into the central issues of her work.
