The Gropius Bau, as part of the Berliner Festspiele, is introducing a new look that has been developed together with the agency 3pc. From March 2023, you can find our new logos and typefaces here on the website, on our posters and digital channels. We are looking forward to integrating our new website design during the second half of the year.
Ayumi Paul: Sounding Seeds
Winter Solstice
Tuning in to the darkest time of the yearly cycle: Our Artist in Residence Ayumi Paul has developed a new work for her series of sound pieces created in attunement with the solstices and equinoxes of the year. Sounding Seeds is a sonic journey – embedded in breathing and vocal exercises – through the spheres that inspire Ayumi Paul’s The Singing Project. Following the rhythm of the earth’s yearly cycle around the sun, Sounding Seeds explores the myriad ways in how sound and song have been shaping our world.
Exhibition Programme 2023
We are pleased to announce the Gropius Bau’s exhibition programme for 2023. Key topics include political self-determination, the fluidity of categories and exchange across the Indian Ocean and beyond. A major retrospective of the artist group General Idea, developed closely with AA Bronson, follows Daniel Boyd’s first comprehensive show in Europe. Two major group exhibitions chart and celebrate the continued exchanges between Africa and Asia, and commemorate the political and cultural solidarity of the pivotal 1955 Bandung Conference.
Gropius Bau Journal
The Gropius Bau Journal is an online platform that aims to explore entangled futures, and ways of thinking and living together, using the broad themes of the exhibition programme as a lens to look at the wider world. Publishing new writing from artists, writers and thinkers, it looks to range across disciplines and to consider the role of an art institution in the 21st century.

In view of its eventful history and the variety of institutions that have been active here over the years, the Gropius Bau is organised as an open framework for addressing a broad variety of artistic modes of thinking and their social implications. Through active collaboration with contemporary artists involved the programme, creative processes are revealed, new perspectives opened up and the possibilities of the institution reflected.
