Designing Wilderness

Andre Dekker, founder and partner of the artist group Observatorium in Rotterdam, NL, speaks about the desire for order, beauty and imagination in the light of calls for circularity, rights for nature and climate change. Recent works of art in equally recent landscapes and gardens illustrate these tensions.

Radical Art for Societies in Turmoil

Can radical film practices help to understand a disintegrating world? Can they have a healing effect? How can we maintain structures of solidarity in the field of radical media production for societies in turmoil and transition? Edited by members of the Berlin chapter of the International Radical Film Network, this collection investigates practices of audio-visual production that act on and struggle with the conditions of our time.

FAIL BETTER: HOW TO CREATE SAFER SPACES
Best Practice Presentation and Discussion
When discussing festivals as safe or safer spaces, talk is cheap. But when it comes to implementation, expectations rise: awareness programs, demands for trigger warnings, navigating backlash in the event of political conflict, and much more. While meeting all needs may be impossible, we aim to explore how we can improve — or fail better — by sharing examples of festivals implementing guidelines for „safer spaces“. We address what works, how, and why, followed by an open discussion on the concept.

SOMETHING BETTER CHANGE: FILM & ACTIVISM
Panel Discussion and Film Screenings
Cinematic art serves as a powerful catalyst for shifting public perception and has been closely linked with activist causes since its inception. In the realm of short film, many artists are increasingly focused on challenging the status quo and addressing the current socio-political climate, driven by a yearning for change, one short film at a time. We encourage our guests to share films that have shown the activist potential of the moving image and, in doing so, have inspired their own work.
