demo station: From Fighting to Culture

The Outreach Berlin Kreuzberg team offers a wide range of activities, including two martial arts courses specifically for women and young men. With a strong focus on sport and street social work, the team supports young people directly on site in Kreuzberg. In addition, Outreach’s mobile career coaching makes it easier for young people to enter the world of work. The team will be visiting Gropius Bau, to open up new ways for young people to participate in culture.

The event takes place on a demo station by Rirkrit Tiravanija. The stage-like sculpture invites people to “demonstrate” something. Tiravanija plays with the different meanings of the term “demonstration” as both a political protest and a presentation of someone’s talent or hobby. For the duration of the exhibition, the demo station provides a space for daily public performances.
