Lecture Performance & Walk in Ernst-Thälmann-Park with Victoria Sarangova

01.08.2026
4:00 – 5:00 PM

As part of the exhibition Spitzen Rauschen, the Pforte and Victoria Sarangova invite you to a lecture performance and a walk. Sarangova returns to the material she gathered around the Ernst-Thälmann-Park: voices, sounds, recordings — and gives it a new shape for the afternoon: a performance of sound and speech that opens up her way of working.

Where does domestic space begin, and where does it end? What happens in the passages between a flat, a neighbourhood and a public space carrying its own historical layers?

The installation in the Pforte takes up these questions from within, and the walk carries them outside. With every stretch of the route, the shifting tones and sounds grow into a sound piece of their own. The domestic keeps echoing outward, folding more and more into the public.

At the end, everyone is welcome to a small picnic in the park, to share what was heard, seen and felt.

Meeting point is the Pforte. No registration required.
Danziger Straße 101/103/105
10405 Berlin

The lecture performance is held in German, an English transcript is available. During the walk, conversation is possible in both German and English.

Victoria Sarangova

Victoria Sarangova (born in 1985 in Kalmykia, a republic in southwestern Russia) works with sound, video, text, and handcrafted embroidery. Rooted in her homeland and drawing inspiration from her family archives and personal history, she explores themes of progress, memory, and identity in her often site-specific installations. She studied Performance: Design and Practice at Central Saint Martins College in London (B.A. 2014) and completed a Master’s degree in the program Art in Context at the Berlin University of the Arts in 2020. Her work has been presented at venues including the CTM Festival 2024, the Ringtheater, and Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien in Berlin, as well as at Sound/Image 2023 in London. Sarangova is a co-founder of the MU collective, a group of artists from Kalmykia.
