THE EXHIBITION
collective futures is our battle against the immediacy of things; an immediacy that has become the rule of law in terms of how things happen and how as "consumers" we expect them to happen. If it's not immediate, it's not relevant. We believe the opposite is true. While Collective Futures Berlin doesn't aim to be a permanent event, our goal is that the impression it leaves on its participants and attendees becomes food for thought and an initiator for tangible collaborations to occur. The event itself is not permanent, but its underlying ideas and concept should be.
Berlin is a city fueled by an independent spirit. Independence in thinking and acting is an evident trademark of the city's inhabitants, more so among its creative core of individuals. During the span of 4 days we are taking residency inside Berlin Community Radio. There, we will be joined by local visual artists, DJs, cultural promoters, thinkers, and doers to explore the possibilities of a borderless state of mind through collaboration. After all it's through collaborating with others that we can truly convey a more versatile form of creativity.
