One of BCB's most celebrated semesterly traditions returns with Open Studios / Performance Factory. All are welcome to this two-night event on the evenings of May 12th and 13th as visual and performing arts students showcase their work at Monopol (Provinzstraße 44, 13409 Berlin).
Open Studios visual art exhibitions will be open from 5:00-9:00 pm on May 12 and remain on view through May 13.
Performance Factory events will take place from 5:30-10:00 pm on May 12. The complete performance schedule can be found on this webpage below the list of featured classes.
Under Current Pasts: The 1990s' Silencing of Migrants to the GDR will take place on May 13 from 4:00-10:00 pm. Please visit the Under Current Pasts site for the full schedule of events.
Please note: although we have been very lucky to enjoy wonderful weather recently, Monopol is an older building and can get quite chilly, especially at night. Attendees--especially those planning on attending performances--are encouraged to bring an extra layer to stay warm through the event.
