The public programme Six Days of Love follows the trajectory in How Love Moves: Prelude with a series of cinematic readings, conversational formats and workshops between summer 2023 and spring 2024. In intimate settings at the freely accessible areas of the Gropius Bau and the cinema, Six Days of Love invites visitors to turn to love as a field of signs beyond the normative mould, through the lens of poetry and the cinematic. The programme brings together different vantage points of writers, scientists, artists and musicians, drawing from a poem by author and activist bell hooks published in When Angels Speak of Love (2005), circling around love as a planetary language premised on minuscule and monumental aspects of the body and the worlds it inhabits.
