Capital Cultural Fund: Talk and Artistic Impulses

An evening of discussion at the Literaturhaus Berlin about the Hauptstadtkulturfonds, the Capital Cultural Fund. Speakers include Nele Hertling, Silvia Fehrmann, Hermann Parzinger and Sonja Longolius. Bjørn Melhus, Rimini Protokoll and Vera Strobel (Theater o.N.) contribute artistic impulses; the hosts are Christophe Knoch and Anne Schneider.

The fund was conceived in 1995 by the Rat für die Künste Berlin. It was recently renegotiated within the Hauptstadtfinanzierungsvertrag. According to the organisers, a significant increase would have been urgently needed, but politicians decided otherwise. The evening looks at what makes the fund unique in cultural funding.

Admission is free; registration by email is required. Held in cooperation with the Stiftung Zukunft Berlin; a livestream is available.
