Focus Workshops
The Focus Workshops are closely related to the Focus Tours and place an emphasis on deeper engagement with selected themes, artistic works, or questions raised by the 13th Berlin Biennial. They invite participants to consciously take more time to explore specific areas of focus.
The two-hour Focus Workshops are facilitated by mediators whose diverse perspectives and mediation practices shape a shared process. By combining performative, somatic, and discursive approaches, the workshops create a multifaceted space of experience. Participants are invited to actively take part, contribute their own viewpoints, and explore new ways of perceiving, thinking, and acting.
Limited capacity.
Please register via mediation@berlinbiennale.de
