After eleven years as an integral part of Berlin’s autumn art calendar with the Kunstwoche festival, Berlin Municipal Galleries are charting a new course this October with Kommunale Kapitale – Berlin Municipal Galleries Days of Action.
In the context of drastic cuts to the cultural sector and uncertainty about future developments, the program focuses on the crucial role of municipal galleries for Berlin’s artists and the city itself. Critically engaged thematic exhibitions exploring artistic and socially relevant issues, monographic solo exhibitions, performances, concerts, workshops, and many other events across all city districts comprise the Days of Action, with contributions from over 150 artists.
A panel discussion brings into focus the importance of municipal galleries in the Berlin art scene. In the subsequent Sounds concert series, artist bands bring music to the stage at WABE in Prenzlauer Berg. The Young workshops provide younger audiences the opportunity to explore their own art in dialogue with the exhibitions. Finally, a varied program of tours offers in-depth insights into the work of municipal galleries.
Participation in all events is free of charge.
